Simon Gentry is a PR 'professional' who works as a hired-gun outfit for corporate lobby groups.

It seems that either he does not understand the implications of software patents, or he does, but ignores them since it's the large corporations that will benefit from software patents that are paying his wages.

I acknowledge that he has a right to free speech on these talkback pages, but given his employment as a corporate mouthpiece, I cannot take his views seriously.
