Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. No software patent legislation. Ever. Because there's simply no need for it and even a 'limited' version of software patent legislation would still be nursed into a big monster by those well funded lobbyists and badly informed politicians.

It would be so much more productive if efforts get concentrated on 'lessons learned'. And perhaps preventing well funded lobbyists and badly informed politicians from getting so close to a similiair 'near miss' in the future.
