jbw@bigbird.bu.edu (Joe Wells) writes: The only legitimate reason for a law is to benefit society. [...body of argument deleted...] Hence software patents should be abolished. Actually, the only legitimate reason for a law [or a government] is to benefit individuals. I may be old-fashioned, but I still believe people are born with certain rights and to secure these rights is why governments [and laws] are instituted among women and men. [Still, I agree that most software patents should be abolished.] ---------------- Adam Grossman I'm a member of the LPF. Are you? arg@bitstream.com
