      The single most useful site is the [http://swpats.ffii.org/ FFII site] on software patents.  They also have a [http://kwiki.ffii.org wiki] (which contains some different information, so you have to look at both); the main FFII site is sometimes difficult to navigate, but the information there is veyr good.
      
    - Another site that looks like it contains useful information is http://software-patent.wikiverse.org/
    + Another site that looks like it contains useful information is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent
