Summary: Another topical video for our week's coverage on the subject of software patents

We have just found this very good video about software patents and thought we ought to share it.

Amongst other videos that we have not included in Techrights yet there is this one from a demonstration against software patents in Vienna (with Richard Stallman) and Kappelman speaking in 2009 about software patents (MIT Enterprise Forum) [1, 2]. These are low-quality and short videos though. If anybody can suggest more videos on the subject of software patents, please contact us. We would gladly publish anything on this subject of high priority. ⬆
