That's a very good point. The assertion in the article that "All software is discovered and not invented" is making a false distinction. You could say that about anything. Was the wheel invented or discovered? In fact "invent" and "discover" originally had the same definition. (The Latin root invenire meant to find or come upon.) Scientists of the Renaissance era referred to their scientific discoveries as "inventions". An argument along these lines inevitably becomes one of semantics; it doesn't actually shed any light on the subject of whether software can or ought to be patented.
