Is there anything in this article that hasn't been said a dozen times already? Go get some new thoughts.



I have no problem with TC rehashing this issue over and over again, regardless of whether they have anything new to say. I hope they repost this exact same article to the front page every day.

Clue train: it's not us who are the audience, they're hoping it gets seen by politicians, lawyers, and others outside the industry via reposts to Google+ and FB, and other network effects. The more cacophony there is about this problem, the better, even if it sounds a little redundant to those of us already intimately familiar with it.


Ok, fine. I guess I would settle for it just not being reposted to HN all the damn time (and upvoted!), if we're not the audience.



>most major programs will require licenses for dozens of patents, and this will make them infeasible.

And everything turned out worse than expected... :(


The "Why Software is Different" section is awesome.
