No, it's a mistake to look for partial solutions, because we have a much better chance of establishing a full solution. Everybody involved in software development and distribution and use, except the ones in the megacorporations, when they see how dangerous software patents are, they will get behind total rejection of software patents. Whereas an exception for some special case will only win support from the people in that special case. These partial solutions are essentially distractions. People start by saying, &ldquo;Oh, I'm sure we can't really solve the problem, so I give up on that. Let me propose a partial solution.&rdquo; But these partial solutions don't make it safe to develop software.
