At last! Software patents hinder innovation and reward it unfairly. No need to worry, no end of capitalism here: this will just push everybody to wrap their treasured algorithms as services (e.g., Google, Facebook, …), but with the priceless advantage of not having to constantly worry about legal repercussions and liability. Small players such as start-ups and third-world companies (once this wonderful idea catches on) will benefit the most. Last, but not least, core applications are very likely to become joint, open-source efforts, increasing efficiency and productivity. Thank you, New Zealand! Hello, Utopia!
