So why I am wrong to assume that some of you on this list are not just
against software patents, but against all patents as this quote implies?
The above quote could care less about hardware or software patents,
and certainly would not need to waste any time trying to justify some
distinction between hardware and software for patenting purposes.  It
is all forms of patenting being questioned.
