Story: Linus Torvalds speaks out against EU patent law

I think comparing david beckham making you a suit with linus torvalds talking about software patent law is unfair.
When you want a suit, definitely you will go to your tailor or a shop. That's natural. When policy makers want to do a study of a proposed law on specific industries, they usually consider industry leaders, labor leaders, small business owners' opinions.
How is this different from software patent laws? Linus is just making sure that open source movement is being heard. As should all of us.
