Why should being a lawyer a man to speak about something of which he don't know
anything?
I he has spoken of biology or physics or astronomy or medicine would his
opinions have more weight than a laypersons? In software he is a layperson.

I think he makes some good points. It is also better to
acknowledge limitation's to one's knowledge.
For instance, 'software is maths' being a waste of time and
suggesting focusing on real reform.
Beyond focusing on obviousness (which the courts are fine
on), the most effective reform might be just reducing the
term on software patents to 3-5 years. (As suggested by
Bezos). (I prefer 6 years from initial evaluation-reduces
room for game-playing.) That suggestion seems to pop up from
practically every reasonable person who looks at the
problem.
Realistically, this would seem to solve a fair number of
issues for FOSS and is something that might actually end up
being put into legislation.
