[LINK] Patent reform bill 'useless' for open source

[David Boxall]

"Critics charge that many patents awarded today are overly broad or fail 
to take notice of 'prior art',"
...
"We are sceptical about whether this [reform] represents any substantial 
change,"
...
"It is still too easy to get a patent on software out of the US Patent 
Office that is too broad,"
