If anyone get's to ignore patents then the whole idea of patents as a safe means of discloser becomes somewhat meaningless. I have no problems abolishing software / business process patents, but if a small company can manufacture any patented drug you greatly undermine the value of new drugs.

I'm not going to argue for or against the usefulness of drug patents, but I think the article was referring to opting out of the software patent system.
