Very long winded article that doesn't really do a good job of laying out a case against software patents. Despite its length, the article doesn't address the core false dichotomy: software is both an encoding of a pure mathematical entity and the input to a machine that actually does stuff. Just beating us over the head with "software is mathematics/speech" for 50 pages doesn't address the real issue which is that it isn't just mathematics/speech.
