You should try to think about the software industry and how code gets written and then used.

The quantity of low quality code that gets deleted is just enormous.

The world runs on money. If your code doesn't get sold, it's being sold in other ways, which are not accounted, but the results are the same.

I'm not against open source, but I'm just saying that software patents are ruining the software industry, and open source doesn't solve that problem. It fights it, but it doesn't solve it.
