How to fix? Getting rid of it is probably the only way. Especially software patents. The trouble that the EFF faces here is that the only correct move is one that is politically unpalatable. They're giving advice on how to make an unfixable system a little less broken, but there is no happy path for that strategy that leads to a healthy software patent system. Such a thing cannot exist in an industry where the cost to invent is lower than the cost to patent, and where the spread of knowledge has nothing to do with what is patented.
