Yeah, but most private software companies are trying to get bought
out by one of the big guys, in which case a good patent portfolio is
helpful. I remember hearing about one company in the 90s that
actually had "be acquired by Microsoft" as part of their long-term

Ha! You're right. I should have mentioned that management would have to
have a longer term, particular socially responsible view of things.
