Well, that post is about 3 and half years old. So don't hold your breath waiting for his position paper :).

Yeah saw that. Went searching hopefully. Disappointment. Busy guy I guess. In the end though, I'd rather he be making cool stuff than messing around with patent nonsense, whatever side he's on.

Not non-sense,m actually. Quite the opposite. This is comapany and industry-ruining stuff. To continue on oblivious to the law and the effect that industry leaders like Carmack can have on the law is nonsense.

Do you think John Carmack's time is better spent writing 3d engines or lobbying congress?

Hidden third option: building space rockets and driving Ferraris.
