,----[ Quote ]
| What this might mean is that although hackers' 
| views and motivations are relatively unaffected 
| by the existence of software patents, they might 
| in fact find themselves hugely affected if major 
| software companies or patent trolls start trying 
| to assert their software patent portfolios â 
| something that many fear might happebn. True, 
| this is only speculation, but at the very least, 
| it might provide an interesting topic for further 
| research....
