A great way of comparing and very true. It would be very nice if ZDNET could get a party in favour of software patents to comment on this article. I'm not in favour of software patents at all. But let one of the large parties comment in public so we can see how good there arguments realy are.

And not the standard reply that poor SME need software patents. We don't need the garbage, we don't have the time and the money to introduce software in our companies. We like to innovate and copyright provides enough protection. If its for our online shop or the software we develop. I don't need a whole battery of lawyers. In fact the company I work for even needs more developers so we can develop more products!
