Subject: [Patents] Re: [Patents] Patent problem

    I read the software patent informations and I agree that the system is
    badly misused. Anyway, patent times are too long; if GATT needs to be
    changed to get the times down, perhaps we should try it; specially if
    it is the only way.

It would be much easier to keep software excluded from patents
than to change GATT.
