Wait, you want to nominate a guy who is against patents to the Patent Advisory Board? They already have enough problems getting things done, he would completely halt the process.
Aside from which, we know his feelings about software patents, but his stance on other patents has never been given? Does he believe there is such a thing as a legitimate patent?
This would be the equivalent of putting the Taliban in charge of Equal Rights (A bit harsh, but you get the idea).
