There are plenty of people working on video codecs both in and out of patented realms, with patents hindering progress more than they incentivize it.

For PlanetScale, are you sure the patents are necessary when they have copyright on all their code?

I'd say that productivity-enhancing software patents are so vanishingly rare that we barely need to consider them.

Also software is math, it's not supposed to be patentable.
