I hope if the law passes, that the Linux Foundation immediately would jump on putting a patent on Linux/whatever else needed just to keep those pesky patent mongoloids from trying to kill Linux. Assuming that Linux would become patentable.

What would you patent? "A program which handles low level functionality and manages other programs?" I suppose what I mean is that there is "prior art". You can't patent something if it isn't new and the concept of Linux isn't. Linux isn't the first kernel. This law wouldn't change that. The first person to create a kernel though, under this law that might perhaps (?) have been patentable. Which would've crippled the entire software industry in it's infancy. Yay patents!
