- http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/05/28/100033867/index.htm?postversion=2007051409 [en] the article is too long and rather lets the reader makes his/her mind, though the subject is important as software patents are illegal in Europe (shouldn't those who try to patent software be prosecuted BTW ?)
- https://linuxfr.org/~pounkfuckcomm0/24455.html [fr] 235 software patents

List of subjects
