As a coder (and please all the other coders on here), what's your stance on the patent mess right now? To my mind (and I'm not a programmer, for what it's worth), I think that a computer program is a text, and therefore should be subject to copyright, but not patent rules. The whole idea of patenting, well, an idea, is absolutely silly, in my opinion. And, its ruining innovation in the tech sector (biology, too, for similar reasons).
