One reason behind patents on software is the "weakening" of entrepreneurshi=
p=20
in Western countries. In large companies, IT managers have been replaced by=
=20
financial managers. These financial gurus are building companies "without=
=20
plants", probably "without men", which means:

1) Patenting software "inventions" to secure Western market.
2) Hire a workforce in India. Downsize Western Europe workforce.

Patents are precisely for that: move IT research centers to India.
