        @joenievelt @boingboing there have been precious few bright spots in "intellectual property" law in the past 20 years. I'll take it.

        @BoingBoing @OpenSourceOrg They never once used the word "software" in the opinion. This is more complicated than that.

        @_daltonator @BoingBoing indeed, a surprising outcome today at SCOTUS. Funny headline though, as it implies software no longer patentable.

        @BuckeyeFitzy @BoingBoing I could see how that may be the case, but doesn't it set a precedent?

        @_daltonator @BoingBoing yes but it's unclear on my first quick glance how strong that precedent actually is. Will definitely look more.

        @BoingBoing @doctorow Another misstatement of law (you guys need a staff legal writer, let me know). Opinion doesn't say "software" once.

        @littlebluedog @boingboing @doctorow Agreed! Said that including using a generic 'computer' in patent doesn't make something patentable.
