I will wager a guess that anybody coming out in favor of software patents either does not understand software or has ulterior motives.
To a software engineer it is clear that patents on software are worthless (i.e. don't serve society) and hamper innovation.
At it stands I predict that we'll either have a 5 year all out patent war after which companies will beg law makers collectively to abolish patents on software or have 5 decades of patent cold war.
