Wait., neither the Open Source Community nor the Free Software
community are opposing patents for the reason "paying
royalty".. though that is an annoyance. The reason they oppose
patents is because in the case of Software, patents are completely
irrelevant. Stating that "not paying royalty" as the motive
undermines the "irrelevance of Software patents" factor.
