Groklaw Rants On Software Patents
LMCBoy writes "Groklaw has the story of Kodak v. Sun (mentioned on Slashdot already), which PJ calls 'Exhibit A' in the case against software patents. Her analysis of Kodak v. Sun, and the larger issue of software patents, is excellent. Bottom line: the software patent 'cold war' provides no benefits to anyone, and will inevitably make the game of software development impossible for anyone to play."
How is this any different from the posting just a few short hours ago about this exact same thing ?
Only a complete N00B wouldn't understand this. Well, I'm a nice guy, so I'll explain the obvious and profound difference:
The previous article was posted by CmdrTaco, whereas this article was posted by michael. Isn't that enough?
I know, this may make it seem as if these aren't really different stories, and the Slashdot "editors" are just a bunch of buffoons. Well, if you're going to believe that, I'm not sure I'm up to the task of disillusioning you. Otherwise, you will understand the clear difference I'm talking about, and respect the editorial decisions made by these seasoned and professional journalists.
