To demonstrate how great innovations occur without effective IP protection (chapter 2)—and how IP laws often retard innovation—he starts by discussing software patents (which did not exist before 1982) followed by open-source software. Reading the open-source list, I'm impressed with how thoroughly Apple has benefited from open-source software in its MacBook & iMac series.
