Well, I guess that those onetime 500 patents out of
the 3000+ patents per year is a good thing for
OSS, but useless and small enough to fit in
to IBM's public relations "quarterly" expense.

I agree, that those 500 patents do not compensate
the harm that they actively do by lobbying
for software patents in EU.
