The concept of software patents is inherently bad. You're basically saying no one is allowed to write down the same idea as you.

- MattPalmer1086 5y agoI agree that software patents are inherently bad, along with maths. I still see a role for patents in other spheres, although the current system seems deeply flawed. The main problem to be addressed in how we ensure society as a whole benefits from original research. The original conception of patents was to grant limited rights for original ideas, as long as the work is published and does not remain secret.
