I don't see really see it. I think people have the right to patent products 
(so that they can make a living making something they invented — exclusively 
for a few years — so long as it's a real product and they're not patenting 
a "concept" like Apple's "rectangle with rounded corners"). I also think 
software can be copyrighted. I don't have to use proprietary software.
