WHY ABOLISH SOFTWARE PATENTS
Patents lead to a lack of international software standards, creating unnecessary incompatibility
Litigation for patent infringement is unsustainable for small companies and individuals
Programmers are at risk of infringing a software patent each time they write code
Contrary to what patent advocates say, economic studies have shown that patents have not contributed to software progress
Software is inherently algorithmic; patents cannot cover abstract concepts
STATE THAT YOUR PROJECT IS PATENT-FREE
