First, make it clear that ordinary patents do not apply, and second, if you wish, you could create a different system of five-year software idea monopolies. Well, it's not clear that there is any particular benefit in these five-year software monopolies but it would be much better than the current situation. So if you found the government prepared to make this deal, well, I would say, we should take it. But, but we have to realize, though, that the first step is to abolish software patents strictly speaking, and that has to be part of this deal.
