Why no to software patents?
Did you know PageUp / PageDown functionality in software is patented?
Did you know Progress Bars in your app are patented too?
With things like "Shopping Carts", "Mobile Receipts", "Remote Upgradation of Software" all patented, it is impossible to build any quality product without infringing on any patent.{all being patented in different countries}
Software patents curb the development of open source software.
This will prevent India from moving from Services to Products.
