"A complex software" -> "A complex software function"
Authored by: myNym on Thursday, January 31 2013 @ 11:01 PM EST
or perhaps package, or procedure, or...

"A ... software" doesn't parse. Software not being a
countable, as it were.

"Each of these ideas may be the subject matter of one or more patents."
Authored by: myNym on Thursday, January 31 2013 @ 11:09 PM EST
Suggestion:

"In the current environment, each of these ideas may be the
subject matter of one or more patents."

It might be good to point out that what we are offering is a
correction to the status quo. (Each simple idea should _not_
be the subject matter of one or more patents.)

Footnotes 1 and 2 are missing closing periods.
Authored by: myNym on Thursday, January 31 2013 @ 11:27 PM EST
(The other footnotes have closing periods, for consistency
would recommend the same for footnotes 1 and 2..)

Subordinate clause
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 01:22 AM EST
If we look at the underlying principles of mathematics which are at the foundations of computer science the functions of software are described with mathematical functions.

This sentance will probably read more easily if the subordinate clause "which are at the foundations of computer science" is bracketed with commas.

As so:

If we look at the underlying principles of mathematics, which are at the foundations of computer science, the functions of software are described with mathematical functions.

Dashes, semi-colons, or parenthesis in the same locations would also be reasonable.

third -> fourth
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 01:44 PM EST
"There is another problem with functional claiming that Lemley has not
identified." (So, presumably, because this says "another", we're
talking about problem #2.)

"And there is still another problem with functional claiming."
(Presumably, problem #3.)

"There is a third problem with functional claiming..." But this is
actually the fourth problem that we are talking about.
