Re: Disappointed, yet..not surprised (was Re: Disap pointed)2004-09-24 17:23:55The link below has a great deal of very interesting examples of software patents gone wrong. It might help explain some of why I happen to oppose their existence. http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/Patents/patents.html#Opinions Bear in mind, too, that part of the reason that this has all gone so wonky (the system) is because of what you can consider "software". Did you know that you can, arguably, classify html code as "software"? (I know, it happened at at least one company with which I was involved.) Anne
