ANY issued patent?
You can't SERIOUSLY be arguing that ALL patents are evil,
can you? You can't honestly be saying that all true and
actual INVENTIONS shouldn't benefit their inventors?
I'm with you as far as the sillyness of software patents
goes, but saying that "ANY issued patent is stealing from
the public" goes way too far in my book. If I put in the
work and effort to discover, design, and develop a new
process then I should be able to benefit from it and defend
it from others who would steal my work. It's just that
simple, as far as I'm concerned.
