NO SOFTWARE PATENTS!!!!

Softwares are just like mathematical formulas and musical scores. Imagine if Issac Newton patented the calculus or Mozart patenting musical scores.

Such a catastrophy if it happened. If you want to develop your own operating system, you will need to check do you violate any of these.

A Patent is different from a copyright. A copyright protects its owner for the copy for its stuff, but a patent is for owning the right for creating the different stuff but with the same idea. This severely disables the ability to create new software. This suppress new inovative ideas.

You webshop is patented.

To be finished

That's a bit rude. Hey, what's that to do with software patents? Einstein didn't do software patents. Algorithems should not be patented.

Einstein worked in a swiss patent office as a clerK. Restore my stuff to NORMAL!!!

Alorithms CANNOT be patented!

Don't delete your stuff, just put mine back on. Just don't feel like having Timothy put those on the main screen, OK? Write that in your own way, if you want.

You can write your sarcastic negative re-enforcement in the comments.

Alorithms CAN be patented in the USA.

In the US...not sure about that/never heard of that!

Alorithms being patented is probably the worst-they form the basis of programmes and mathematics (used in calculators)!!!
