Here is a site with a lot of links, papers, and articles relating to software patents, including The Letters of Thomas Jefferson stating no patents on ideas. Most of the views and articles linked here are opposed to software patents, so I'm going to see what I can find in support of software patents. Strangely enough, it seems like most people hate them, or those who don't mind them aren't passionate enough about it to create entire web sites about the issue.
Edited to Add: I just found a very nice (and fairly long) discussion of the debate on software patents at Answers.com, which includes the varying positions out there on software patents.
