I agree, I hate the current patent system. I believe that code should only be copyright to within % tolerence... bit like the written word.

The current patent system is stifling innovation and free enterprise IMHO, it is not freedom.

It is actually one of the worst modern concepts in the world. I don't believe the human race will prosper in a corporations only world, this will stifle emotion and innovation.
