Germany to Vote Against Software Patents in the EU
'Under no circumstances do we want American procedures in Europe", Hucko vowed with regard to the US patent process. 'A patent must be "a fair reward for a bona fide invention and not abused as a strategy to bludgeon competitors.' With the largest EU member against software patents and French IT leaders lobbying their goverment to vote against them too, Europe might be saved from software patents.

No one hears your screams.
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
