Perhaps in China?

I support your sentiment, but most countries with strong software communities appear to have strong software patents (US, EU, Taiwan, SK). Maybe the only outlier is Russia (and possibly India)?

I'd say China, India, Russia all have pretty strong software communities and are good candidates.

China also has a strong hardware community as well.
