>Nice repeat of the same old arguments against software patents. And
>yet another example of an argument that can be applied to all other
>patents, especially hardware patents. There is no longer any
>practical difference between the amount of effort, ingenuity and
>needed lifetime of hardware designs and software designs - the same
>tools are used, etc. So Perens argument is as much an argument
>against most forms of patenting, once you subtract out the worshipping
>of software implicit in his arguments.
