Mr Bill (*Shit*) Gates, em 1991:

"If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today...A future start-up with no patents of its own will be forced to pay whatever price the giants choose to impose."

Quem lembrou o discurso aí foi o chato do Stallman, em longo artigo comunista. Segue o temor (FUD ou PRI (Perigo Real e Imediato)?) de que a MS queira controlar e-mails, a Internet e toda a 'Vida Digital'.
