I was doing my share of slashdotting and came across the article Software groups warn of FTA dangers. Here's a quote:
Even if an Australian developer owned a patent, he or she, in most cases, would not have the money and time to pursue a case against a big company. "Most software patents are owned by huge ICT firms, which keep them to be used when necessary to do an opponent serious damage or for legal leverage in deal negotiation. They are not used to 'extend the art and science' of technology," Scott claimed.
