Talk:Software copyright
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Possibly biased
I tagged this article as possibly NPOV because the first sentence is awkward:
- Software copyright, the relatively recent extension of copyright law to software, allowed a market for proprietary software to flourish for some time.
I would have expected a definition of software copyright and what is offered instead is a curious retrospective, wishful, unsupported claim about the alleged decline of proprietary software. Please help to make this article less NPOV. Cheers. --Edcolins 19:35, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- I changed that sentence to read "has allowed", so it now does not suggest that the proprietary software market has dissipated. I've left the NPOV tag, though, until someone can look at the rest of the article more thoroughly. ArthurDenture 18:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

- This article is unlikely ever to be completely unbiased due to the complicated nature of the subject and the many points of view. This problem is exacerbated by the practice of posting the arguments against software copyright on a separate page, which are also tagged NPOV. Possibly a way to solve this would be simply to post a clear indication of this fact within the context of the page itself, as well as at the end of the article, which sometimes is not donePhil alias Harry 23:25, 3 November 2005 (UTC)23:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC) (sorry, i was for some reason not logged in when i hit the save button)

- I have checked this article for any inaccuracies and can now confirm that it is correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.92.152.221 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC).
Wow, this is just about the worst wikipedia article I've ever read. There's not even a summary of what software copyrights govern--it just skips into crap right away. I'm not especially qualified, but can someone who is please clean this up?
