Extremely minor nitpick: In this case the Fraunhofer Society is a non-profit, although it earns 70% of its income through contracts. That's why I can’t be that angry about the MP3 patent monopoly: The income financed other applied science research of the Fraunhofer Society, and financed research seems better to me than non-financed (and thus non-existant) research.
I'm with you with the closed specifications: Those should be definitely open now.
- seanp2k2 3y agoIs that not the same logical argument in favor of taxes though, eg property tax to fund schools? I still don't see software patents as a net positive for society, even if some companies are attempting to do some kind of societal good with them, and that logic gets really tenuous IMO with things like this.
