Software is mathematics. The idea you can patent software is as ridiculous as patenting a particular number or the technique of Riemann integration or whatever. I have my name on a couple of software patents[1] and everything about the process is bullshit. When I read my first patent I couldn’t quite believe that this is an accepted legal process. The actual arguably novel part is one page surrounded by hundreds of pages of fiction pretending my thing was a machine to try to game the patent system. It is like the sovereign citizen BS but made real.
