Now, what does that have to do with patents? The larger you make a patent system, the more you allow the patent system to impact software, and the more you're allowing success in the software industry to be determined by patent-based bureaucrats, those who can take advantage of the bureaucracy which grants and resolves disputes regarding patent rights. It's a bureaucratic competition, not one based on the decision of consumers. That means it's less likely for the merits to be determinative of what software succeeds.
