Missiles/Nukes are like Software Patents. Most reasonable people will agree that they are bad but will still continue on filling patents for counter suing and deterrence.

Government doesn't create the principles of nuclear physics that allow fission and fusion to occur.

We can't get rid of the nuclear threat as long as the knowledge of nuclear physics exists and someone somewhere wants to conquer the world (or merely a continent in some cases).

Software patents are a legal construct. Get rid of that, and writing up software patents accomplishes nothing.
