Subject: Re: Patent Absurdity - How software patents broke
the system
Now here's a question that should bring this thread back on-topic. How
patentable are security tools? Lets say, for example, that I got a patent
on fuzzers - i.e. a patent on the process of generating random input for a
program. Could it be that I could restrict the availability and use of
these tools? That'd be pretty worrying from a security perspective, no?
