Well, right now there's a Texas policy on "inappropriate relationships between teachers and students" that could get any teacher in the state fired. Its broad enough to drive a tank company across, and when asked about whether or not it was meant to be that way, the response was, "Yes, it is."
Broad patents, broad contracts, stupidly broad policies. They're all the same, whether they emerge from a mindless theocratic bureaucracy or a megacorp. They're bad for everyone except the person who writes them.
