[13:47] schestowitz > This might have turned out better at the FSF had I got to my post

[13:47] schestowitz > For a brief time, I got some insights into past nominations and the

[13:47] schestowitz > what gets so many award recipients to turn against the movement :-(

[13:47] schestowitz >

[13:48] schestowitz > Maybe most don't turn, they just happened to do something useful for the

[13:48] schestowitz >

[13:48] schestowitz > Alas, this has made the award a lot less valuable for me :-(

[13:48] schestowitz kaniini said it was a way for RMS to appease his haters.

[13:48] schestowitz Either way, those awards harm some of us who fight for the cause by giving a veneer of supremacy to those who attack us.

[13:48] schestowitz The EPO and the JPO have quite similar approaches when it comes to patenting computer-implemented inventions. But there are subtle differences, and the devil is in the details.

[13:48] schestowitz I found this comparative study on computer-implemented inventions/softwarerelated inventions published by the EPO and JPO quite interesting. Maybe thats something for your weekend reading list.
