{2} Burton surveyed professional software developers who attended the Software Development '94 East trade show in Washington, D.C. on October 4-6, 1994.Visitors to Burton's booth were asked about two controversial areas of intellectual property law: patents on computer software and copyrights on the "look and feel" of software user interfaces.

{3} The results were startling.By lopsided margins ranging from over 2-to-1 to more than 10-to-1, the software developers said that both software patents and "look and feel" copyrights impede software development and should be abolished.

{4} "The U.S. Constitution authorizes patents and copyrights to promote the progress of science and the useful arts," said Dave Burton, President of Burton Systems Software.

From: "Dave Burton"

"My dad was a wonderful man," said his son, David Burton, of Milford."He was independent all the way to the end.He drove his car by himself, lived by himself - he was really something.He was able to live the kind of life he wanted up until his last days.What a blessing."

The kind of life Mr. Burton wanted to live left quite a legacy in his community and beyond.

Because of his generosity and involvement in his community, Milford's landscape is forever changed.

A Millsboro native, Mr. Burton moved to Georgetown after graduating from Swarthmore College in 1931.There he joined his brother in the Chevrolet-Oldsmobile dealership begun by their father, Fred, in 1908.

He moved to Milford in 1933 and established the Burton Brothers automobile dealership, where he worked until 1941.

During World War II, he worked for General Motors at Eastern Aircraft in Baltimore, manufacturing Grumman Avenger torpedo bombers.

In 1945, he returned to Milford and established the I.G. Burton & Co. auto dealerships, which grew into franchises in Milford, Seaford and Smyrna.He remained active in the business until well into his 70s with his sons and grandsons.

He was awarded the National Automobile Dealer Association's Benjamin Franklin Award as the outstanding dealer in the nation in 1962.He helped establish the Delaware Automobile Dealer Association and served as president and representative to the National Dealers Association.

Mr. Burton served on the board of directors for Bayhealth-Milford Memorial for 40 years and acted as president of the board twice.He also served as co-chairman of the building and fund-raising committees for what is now Bayhealth Medical Center.

And a giant in his family's eyes as well, his son David said.

"He was one of those guys who I think people liked because of who he was," he said.
