Rod it affects us now, regardless of the FTA changes.  The guy's
statement is correct.  Developers are affected by s/w patents.
Simple.  Given that many developers market their s/w to places
where such patents are in place and can be enforced it affects
us.

I agree it won't be anything like the alarmists say but
we'll likely get some change.  Anyway I'm part of the crowd
that will benefit so what do I care?

Just look at the US PTO grants.  You'll be able to find them.
Check the "assignee" field.  Do some counting.  Go back about
ten years and compare the numbers.  The s/w patent game is
wide open and many know how to play it.
