Groklaw has
an
excerpt from
Math You Can't Use, a book on copyrights,
patents and software. "
The world of software engineering is in no
way restricted to software companies. Beyond Microsoft or thousands of
smaller software vendors, almost every corporation in the world keeps a
stable of programmers in the basement to write little scripts that move the
company's e-mail and make the "add to cart" button do what it should. I
am a programmer because I write simulations and statistical analyses. Even
you are a software programmer if you use the Record Macro feature of your
spreadsheet or word processor."
