Can you explain why it's not what EFF means? To me, the part of software patents that doesn't make sense is that you can patent any possible combination of ideas — in this case the combination of using voice and remotely controlling a computer — and it's considered a valid patent.
In my opinion, this is like patenting putting a blue Lego brick on a red brick because nobody bothered to write down or patent that particular combination before. There's no core novelty here, and obviously Mycroft was not stealing profits from Voice Tech Corp.
