Linus is right.
Patents must be not for software, because every day tons of people develop new ideas on software easily, but they do not have the means to patent it neither to protected him against the big corporations.
You falacies Ad Hominem attacking linus, do not demostrate taht their affirmations are false or untrue. Also there are a lot of lawyers and successful businessmen against this non-sense patents. Also there are large businesses based on Open Source Software that are against this like Red Hat, MySQL, and others.
Laws must protect the individuals against the abusse of the strongers, to compete in equal conditions.
