On: German Patent Ruling Threatens Microsoft's Windows...

Another ridiculous software patent that should die!

I people had patented B-trees, there would be no MySQL or other free database and royalities had to be paid on any database of the world.

Or guess, somebody would have patented Quicksearch ... a thousand times more plausible thing to patent.

They would, just not in the US or anywhere else where such concepts can be patented.

do you mean quicksort?

Oh right! You are so right! Unfortunately, I can't correct the comment anymore.
