[A2k] Re: [Upd-discuss] SCOTUS Overrules Rigid US Appeals Court Approach to Patentability of Combinations of Existing Elements

[Richard Stallman]

    I did not "criticize you for not mentioning the deep gulf between patent
    law and copyright law,

Here are the words you used:

    While I agree with Mr. Stallman that the written word should not
    be patented, it is probably for much deeper philosophical reasons
    concering the very great difference between copyright and patent,
    which Mr. Stallman did not mention.

    There are two kind of Richard Stallman techniques,
    thosee that are obvious, and those that are only obvious to a few.

You criticized my message for not mentioning the "very great
difference".  I responded by acknowledging that great difference, and
then you were very nasty.

    if you do not discontinue, everyone in your audience is
    going to find it too obvious to ignore that you are being manipulative

I think they will see I'm not being manipulative, since they see the
facts for themselves.  But that's up to them, not you or me.
