The FSF needs pragmatism

one good thing about this decision is that the court does recognize that there is tension between patents and infringing on the public domain (their words) and that in this era where there are ever more innovators care needs to be taken to not hurt

quote: This Age puts the possibility of innovation in the hands of more people and raises new difficulties for the patent law. With ever more people trying to innovate and thus seeking patent protections for their inventions, the patent law faces a great challenge in striking the balance between protecting inventors and not granting monopolies over procedures that others would discover by independent, creative application of general principles.

this is at least recognizing that there is a issue here, which most of the pro-patent people would like to pretend didn't exist (that everything should be in favor of the first person to get a patent)
