I'm sure most people here are aware of software patents; for those that aren't there is a good article on wikipedia about the pros and cons here:

I am a firm beleiver that software patents stifle innovation and always seem to favour those with large wallets and an army of lawyers.

I'm not going to rant here and now I just wanted to bring your attention to a petition on the Prime Minister's web site. If you think that software patents are as an absurd an idea as I do please sign it:(UK residents only).
