Being honest, I should acknowledge  that I am speculating, but I think
that in the HALF TERM  patenting soft will stagnate IT.Sort of killing
the hen of golden eggs.
Confussing laws and expensive procedures about IT is like taking the
skin of a sheep out ,it is better get just the hairs, you know?
May be in the short term lots of companies get the patenting soft flu,
but they will realize that it is not the best way to invest their money
after all.

Balance of the whole, please.
