						 <p>Well, I don't blame them. Think about source code. If you create code and somebody rips it off, you wouldn't be too happy.

						 <p>In its <a href="http://www.patentlyo.com/08-964-ibm.pdf">Amicus Brief</a> to the US Supreme Court on the Bilski case, IBM is arguing that</p> <blockquote> <p>patent protection has promoted the free sharing of source code [&#8230;] which has fueled the explosive growth of open source software development.</p> </blockquote> <p>IBM also argue that the machine-or-tranformation test allow software to be patented, and that:</p> <blockquote> <p>software patent protection provides significant economic, technological, and societal benefits.</p> </blockquote> <p>IBM also <em>&quot;finds alarming decisions in the wake of Bilski concluding that software is excluded from patentable subject matter&quot;</em> making references to the BPAI decisions on Ex Parte Altman. IBM also says that they are <em>&quot;committed to ensuring that such technology [software] is and remains patentable&quot;.&quot;</em></p>
