which makes it clear that it is not patentable subject matter.
The courts need to recognise that software can be a printout, a computer file, a
list of instructions, in a form primarily for human or computer comprehension,
expressed in a language, represented as a huge number, and that ALL of these are
EQUIVALENT (or, in other terms, mathematically the SAME THING).
As soon as the courts recognise that all these expressions are mathematically
equivalent, it becomes obvious that they cannot be patented.
We don't need legislation if we can get the courts (hopefully SCOTUS) to
recognise this fact.

While I am not learned on the matter of drafting proposals, nor have I looked
into the possible dangers involved with the lobbyist bringing their money-backed
"suggestions" to the table (thereby poisoning such a proposal, or
worse, reversing it's intent completely), I would be more than willing to help
in any way that I can (donations, public advocacy, etc.).
What can I do?
