Patents vs. The Free World

Yes, I know it's been a long time since my last entry. I'm just not good at this blog-stuff. I have a theory that most bloggers are at least partially driven by their egos, and, well, maybe mine just isn't big enough. ;-)

Anyway, since even to this day I get some emails in reaction to The software patents manifesto, where I get thanked for providing references and links in regard to the patent-issue, I've been pondering about it. I've decided to build a compendium of links to sites and online researchpapers dealing with (the reform of) patents and copy-right issues. If people know some other interesting links I didn't mention, feel free to point them out in a comment, and I'll place it in the list.
