No software patents. I know that that works fine. I was in the field when there were no software patents. And that meant people developed software, and they distributed that software in various ways, and they didn't have to worry about getting sued by patent holders for doing it, so they were safe. Software patents don't solve a real problem, so we don't need to ask what other solution is there.
