Can't be too sure about that: https://sh.itjust.works/post/57524423

The whole patent system should just be abolished. And if we can't achieve that, at least software patents.

Nah, we've seen what happens with patents. from medical, to agriculture, to automotive to software. The system isn't working even slightly as originally intended in almost all scenarios and should be dismantled
