Please approve draft policy; disapprove of software patents.

Hello,

I request the W3C approves the draft policy on software patents that
protects the rights of Open Source and Free Software developers.

I do not support patents on software or algorithms, as this inhibits
development of the global community and causes a rift between those who
have a licence and those who do not. Hiding software behind lawyers
prevents the development of improved communications and puts charitable
developers at legal risk.

Regards,

  James Bromberger
