Amen.

Moglen is asserting the same kind of idiocy about the GPL3 and patents.
Why doesn't anyone ever read the decision:

Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc., 387
F.3d 522 (6th Cir. 2004)?

http://www.law.pitt.edu/madison/copyright/supplement/lexmark_v_static_control.htm

There is precious little copyright protection left for source code after
the "abstraction-filtration-comparison" test. Source code that forms a
step in a "software" process patent is NOT eligible for copyright
protection in the context of that patent. The GPL3 is 100% FUD
concerning patents and the DMCA.

Moglen proves that if you repeat a falsehood often enough, some gullible
people will think it is gospel truth.
