"There are also certain software developers for whom getting a patent 
licence is extremely hard. We Free Software developers. You see Free 
Software has been so successful because we have shown we can develop 
software without any money. Volunteers do it. We don't need to have 
money to develop powerful large programs. But we certainly need to 
have money if we're going to buy patent licences."

Says it all.
