Like the post below, I also found something relevant about another one of my previous posts (yesterday's post about software patents): a column from the infamous Richard Stallman on software patents and Bill Gates' view on this. It's a bit too long to give you a short version, but it's a very good read, especially if you still think software patents are good for the economy and development of computers. Although, if you think Microsoft is the best, don't mind paying €500 when Longhorn comes out and would like to see MS get control over everything, "so you can use their wonderful (:S) software on every device with digital chips", you might not care a lot if they can attack Open Source developers with patents. For everyone else, you can only hope Europe will not follow America's bad example and not vote in favor of a few big megacorporations to extend their power to suppress the rest.
