Maybe some anti-sotware patent folk are scared....

Not me though!

From what I've read from the Supremes authorings, I'm positive they will eventually understand software only exists in abstract concept form. That what is being patented when someone patents "software on a computer" is absolutely nothing more then if someone patented "message 1 on a telegraph key vs message 2 on a telegraph key".

In other words, the only thing that's being patented is:

    the particular flow of electricity through the device
We stay patient and keep explaining - and full understanding may yet dawn.

"CLS Bank, of course, has nothing to lose. It is *only* their
patents they are worried about. They will appeal."

Hmmm... I thought the patents in this case were from Alice, did I misread
something?

Scared of their power, I guess. Pharma patents should fall, too. The serve no
useful purpose (penicillin was never patented, nor was Salk's vaccine). We
complain about how medical costs will bankrupt the country, then use
patentsto drive medical costs through the roof. Is this sane? No. Drug patents
must fail!
