I am in total agreement. But even if they could proove that patents were a
good thing, it doesn't solve the problem of the author's exclusive rights.

My interpretaton of what François wrote is that for *any* burder
introduced, the advantages must be proven.

What Christian is trying to say is that whether or not software patents have advantages is completely irrelevant from a copyright standpoint. They always undermine the author's rights, which is forbidden by the Berne Convention, TRIPs and the EU Software Copyright Directive...
