Just going through the latest issue of Byte and there are a few articles
of interest to this group:

P. 19-20 Covers the Lotus Case
P. 232   A small essay on Software Patents by Alvy Ray Smith ( from Pixar )
P. 520   An article ( Stop Bit ) by  Mitch Kapor on Litigation vs Innovation
         ( Pay notice to the last paragraph )


A thread (or comment) that you find in the three articles is in regards to
what could/might happen to this industry if the continuing litigous nature
of the business continues.  And the picture is not pretty.

Read the articles and think about them.
