There is no way you can end software patents by trying to go around
patents.

It is near to impossible to make a driver without information that's not
disclosed, so don't try to divert the attention to the real issues.

Software patents are a nightmare, and they must be taken down.
There are only two ways to do it:
  prevent them from existing (what we're trying to do in Europe)
  stop them from existing (what you _have_to_do_).

This can only be done at the political level. Pressure your government.
There are groups focused on doing this, you can join them and help them.
