Grow up. Many other fields of technology (electronics, communications,
biotech, pharma, etc.) have learned to tapdance in these patent minefields.
It is something mature industries learned to deal with. There is nothing
special or holy about software engineering. And if you bothered to do any
research, you would find the minefields in these other areas of technology
much worse than for software, in terms of real legal problems companies
big and small are experiencing. But in fantasy land, imagine what you want.
