The source and veracity of my legal knowledge is nebulous and not something I'll discuss here, but, I can help with the US side of things.
With regards to that, a procedural challenge has been made by the USPTO (patent office) to software patents. Investigate, pursue, and attempt to create a test case for it, see if you can reinforce it.
Should help open source, and startups in one shot. Have fun.
