As a side note... some software ( none if it is intellectual property in my view) can also be viewed the same way most of us view mathematics. No mathematical "truth" can be patented. Much of software (if not all...) is similar to mathematical truth... whether trivial or not... and should not be patentable for the same reason. This is of course a minor point to the real answer... which is that software is text and should be protected as text... not as a physical (meta-physical) object.
I think, a _very_ good analogy.
