This was such a good read. I liked how the writer avoided ideological issues that might put off some, and instead talks to the layman directly - the DVD player example, and the quotes from Redhat and the Alternate Law Forum were very good convincing material.

Like the first, two more links to articles that present "why free(dom) matters?" very well.

I found that to be merely a report of what various Industry players have to say, rather than a pro-patent article.
