Frankly, the concept of software patents is a complete joke....if you teach a class in computer programming and ask them to perform a certain task, then 90% of the students will turn in the assignment written in code which is identical....
By education and training, I am a mathematician, I have bounced around from one profession to another due to a variety of factors, but by education and training I am a mathematician....patenting a computer program is as stupid trying to patent a theorem....or trying to patent a proof...this is as dumb as me trying to patent my dissertation....'hey, you can't use the Gauss Bonet Theorem, I patented that!' Stupid!
