Software can be patented but only by the owner of the microcode that make up the instructions of the processor. Of course this is not smart if the owner of the microcode actually want this to be used by their clients, this is why Intel, AMD et al. never patented the instructions of the processor.
The reason why others were able to patent specific sequences of the instructions have to do with corruption and actively attempts to stifle science by politicians. The patent system is seen by politicians as a good tool to keep the status quo as new science always undermines that.
The only problem is that it's not theirs to decide when the company went belly up but the curator and creditors. They might decide something different.
I call bull, they are not required to be supporting towards the execs, but they are required to uphold the constitution, just like anybody else. If the execs choose to become traitors it does not mean all should become.
The political climate currently will cause the brightest to leave the US and earn their money else were, leaving the US with only incompetent people in leader positions. I have given up already, the US is doomed at least for the current generation and need a lot of work and attention of future ones.
Because the US government wants to spy on their constituents they allowed a consolidation of telecoms, it is impossible to setup spying services in a fractured market, because then too many owners of telecoms will say no.
It is simply the price that normal people pay for the overreaching corrupt government of the US.
Believe me, it will get worse, no matter who is chosen in November, the system is broken beyond repair and gamed every day by the ruling class.
Also you must understand that the free market is not able to maintain it's infra, the free market is for economics what Vlad the impaler is for humans, it will suck any liquidity dry on it's way and simply throw it away when all done.
You can troll me all you want, it does not help, see my 2 points. Instead of being a bad mooded grammar Nazi you could try and read my message well.
It is better to just smoke a joint, relax, and after that go ahead with fresh spirit. Instead of trying to make your life into a big lie and let drugs do your tasks in life.
I think it will be the advertizers that will pay in the short term, then after a while it will be the stolen identities of the consumers that fall for the advertized services.

It's all the property they have left, so they defend it to the teeth.
It comes close enough anyway.
Linux is Linux due to that "restrictive" license, without that license we would have nothing.
Yes please... Besides I did before too. :-)

They are not really in a position to give things away, what way do they plan to make money with this project?

That is not the point.
The answer is NO!!!! Jaaksi, you idiot...
And make each other insane in an orgy of ever perpetuating intel paranoia.
Their paranoia is, "If we cane make up these insane monstrous plots then others will too".
The monopolies you talk about are the result of telecom consolidation that is the work of the US federal government.
All this negative stuff that the US internet users must endure is the price of the US federal government it's wish to spy on their citizens.
So essentially we have to make them choose between TV and internet running over their cable, to solve the problem that they created them self.

So in other words, knowing a criminal is a reason for guilt in the US?
Glad I don't live there.

But how would you know...
What a bunch of loosers to take chemical corporate drugs, while they could smoke a nice joint instead.
I see, sorry to annoy you Neocon with mod points, not.
Asshole, I hope you and your clan all die a painful dead on the ropes.

Oh Wait...
This is already reality.

You really live 10 years ago, don't you?
Because other people will get sick from your actions, either from germs or from poluted smoke when you burn it.
There do exist other people, you know.
It will mean that slowly the world ceases to make treaties with the US.
I do not know what the consequences of that will be.
