I found this interesting, and yeah i do agree that patents (not just software) are a huge joke. That system needs to be abolished. Allow people and companies to be creative, without being sued.
One part of creativity is taking something existing, and making it better, or using it along with something else. Patents make this very hard, if impossible.
