All patents should not be removed, but some categories should be removed. Like the ones that benefit the whole mankind. Like medicines. Cure for diseases shouldn't be patented, they should be free.
Many countries(many in Asia and Africa) can't afford to pay the price for those medicines, so the people who need them must pay, and they for sure can't afford it. This is a very common practice in many many countries all around the world. People are dying becouse of the high prices of patented medicines and cures.
As many of you might have noticed I started a thread on LKML a couple of weeks ago(My thoughts on the "new development model"), so I am really hoping such a fork will happen.:)
