[OT] No software patents in Europe

Hi all,

Sorry for the off-topic post, but IMHO this is a great news for
all of us (free software developers).

After years of struggle, the European Parliament finally rejected the 
software patent directive with 648 of 680 votes: A strong signal against 
patents on software logic, a sign of lost faith in the European Union 
and a clear request for the European Patent Office (EPO) to change its 
policy: the EPO must stop issuing software patents today

Mladen.
