    Fuck software patents. Zero advantages to anyone except greedy bastards who fear competition.

    They’re not “playing it safe,” they’re just killing art.

      Yeah - and they also don’t seem to licence the patent. They are not using it, so there is no reason to sit on it.

      Not even just art, they are also just stupid for the most mundane types of software problems too, the kind that everyone would do the same because there is just an obvious solution to a simple problem if it wasn’t for idiots patenting the obvious solution.
