Z:gnu-www-ja-software-patents--36195b-All of these three possibiliti/en

All of these three possibilities are things that sometimes you can manage to use, but often you can't. So you have to face patent after patent after patent. Each time you may be able to find one of these three possibilities you can use, then there is another patent then another and another. It gets like crossing a minefield. Each step you take, each design decision, probably won't step on a patent, so you can take a few steps and probably there won't be an explosion. But the chance you will get all the way through the minefield and get to develop the program you want to develop without ever stepping on a patent gets less and less as the program gets bigger.
