I’ve been developing with Wordpress for a long time now and I’m embarrassed to say today is the first time I’ve clicked a link in the dashboard which brought me here.

The biggest problem I see is the patent of methods that existed prior to the patents. Because the patent system is pretty ignorant when it comes to software, they grant stuff that should never be granted.

It won’t be long before some patent trolls start targeting businesses for using the patent and wanting to be paid off. I’m glad someone with some muscle and of course the financial backing is standing up to this. It will be fairly easy to show prior art and get the patents reversed, but that takes lawyers and money so I say great job Matt!
