Imagine a company having the right to tell you that you can’t paint bowls of flowers, how hard would you laugh? Now how silly would the people who say “go paint a REAL picture” look?

By patenting software, we totally prevent innovation. It’s like patenting brush strokes. The ultimate result no new paintings. Or perhaps more importantly no new painting styles.

What’s really funny is the vast majority of servers in the world are run on open source software. Why? Because the same companies, like adobe, who put a stranglehold on innovation, balk at the commercial solution’s absurd licensing cost and sub par product.
