Kill software patents

I'm not confident, as you seem to be, that the author of the cited article had any awareness of the irony. It seems more a straightforward promotion of the “mission” of the site: to encourage treating ideas as property.

I find all too little indication they have any awareness of a motivation for getting good ideas into the public domain. Instead, the *entire site* appears to buy into the idea that artificial, legally-enforced restriction of natural usage of information is a good thing because it's a motive for the gatekeepers to profit.
