Subject: [Patents] US government concerned about deleterious
 impact of software patents

With regards to the report Hartmut mentioned, it was written by people
with less than a complete understanding of modern information
processing technologies.  It should not be taken too seriously.  The
report is sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, whose patent
analysis activities are not very rigorous.
