RMS On How To Fight Software Patents

Posted by timothy on from the by-virtue-of-virtue dept.

rimberg writes "Richard M. Stallman has a article on NewsForge talking about ways to fight software patents. It mentions the Public Patent Foundation (and why it's a good idea), but argues that fighting patents one by one will never eliminate the danger of software patents, any more than swatting mosquitoes will eliminate malaria." (Newsforge, like Slashdot, is part of OSTG.)

    With me, it's because the dude doesn't wash, he's phobic of water. Seriously (as in see-a-shrink seriously, not just "poor personal hygeine"). I can cope with corresponding with him by email, but I do NOT enjoy being in the same room as him if he's having a "water is scary" week.

    Then stupid, idealistic fucktard professors like RMS would have to perform, like any other real job.
