The Government Files its Bilski Brief: Argues For "Particular Machine or
Transformation of Matter" Test
,----[ Quote ]
| What about software, then? I read the brief as sending
| a mixed message, or more accurately an unfinished one,
| and indeed the brief states that Bilski isn't the
| right case to decide that issue anyway, since it's
| about a method of hedging commodities trading without
| any computer connection.
|
| I'm afraid I can't make much sense out of what it says
| about software.

Richard Stallman on Software Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| In this insightful discussion, international Free Software
| advocate Richard Stallman (RMS) will argue that software
| patents seriously and significantly obstruct software
| development.
|
| Software patents are patents that cover software ideas.
| Stallman will argue that they restrict the development of
| software to the point that the risk of legal action as a
| result of design decisions is dramatically raised. Stallman
| will also make the point that patents in other fields
| restrict factories, but in IT, software patents restrict
| every computer user and consumer.
