European software patents have been ditched



I saw an interesting post on the UK Register site last night and made a note to talk about it here. Lucy Sherriff writes that the European parliament has voted by a massive majority to reject the software patents directive, the vote to get rid of the bill was 648 to 14 with 18 abstentions.

Have a look at Lucy Sherriff's article for more details. The article is called http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/06/eu_bins_swpat/ - (broken link) EU Parliament bins software patent bill.
