- rbanffy 15y agoI understand, but, still, the language in the first paragraph is contradictory. "The patent office's original interpretation of software as language and therefor patentable" states the original interpretation of the USPTO is that language is patentable. A petition like this should not allow the slightest amount of confusion.
- dbingham 15y agoThis would be one of the reasons why the language needs to be fixed. I don't think there was any doubt in the minds of those who signed what it was asking. And the new language just removes my messy "let's-just-throw-text-in-this-textbox" crap.
- rbanffy 15y agoIndeed, but people already signed the petition. I understand most probably nobody who signed it understood your intentions, but, still, it's now a signed document. BTW, congratulations on the idea.
