> patent trolls or even rightful patent owners What's the difference? But seriously, if it takes trolling through the code to determine that Twitch's math violated their special way of doing math that no one else should get to use, it's just more evidence that software patents aren't helping protect or encourage innovation (else the violation would have been apparent from using the service). It would instead clearly be a "hah, gotcha, turns out we patented the linked-list-inside-a-hashmap construction you've got going on here, pay up! Only we can put the Legos together in that way!"
