Agree, it's murky. All involved parties think they've won, which is an immediate red light. Allowing Myriad's patents to stand where they've introduced a few new nucleotides has opened Pandora's box. This is NOT a victory for those who oppose the patenting of human genes. Frankly, the battle was lost when patenting of ANY genes was permitted.

Hmmm... think I'll go read up on Pirate Party literature. Between this patent nonsense and the lack of a 4th Amendment those guys might be well positioned.
