Perhaps software patents should be required to give a complete implementation to be released into the public domain on completion of the patent interval?

Difficult for a farm boy like me Posted May 12, 2005 14:37 UTC (Thu) by zakaelri (guest, #17928) [Link] From what I read above concerning patents, and the handful of patents I have seen before (maybe on the order of 2 or 3), I thought that was the point of the patent. Otherwise, I could patent "amino-based toilet bowl cleaner" and be done with it.
Then again, I believe that most people feel our patent system needs to be re-thought.

That is, the actual source code used.
