Software patents are bad. Most developers know that, but money-smelling-egos seem to make more noise. So…how about patenting a “mapping architecture for arbitrary data models“, or loosely interpreted “OR mapping”, since that’s a big hype at the moment. I think this sucks. We need to stop this. No software-patents!
We should protect ideas, but not like this. Patents are there to make money (not in the least by the patent-registrators) and not to protect ideas.
