[1/*] At some point very soon, we as US developers must present a unified front to the government to get software patents removed from US patent law permanently.

It’s too bad the EFF couldn’t organize its way out of a paper bag. Although I suspect their milquetoast efforts are not actually incompetence, but that they’ve been captured by industry and serve as a useful foil.

The EFF likes software patents. Several of us tried to convince them to be against software patents, but they steadfastly refused, and instead supported the idea of software patents while focusing on getting rid of "bad" software patents :(
