What is this, first of all the EU said that the voting or the sessions were closed, hoping that this would be enough, but Poland interviened.

Now these fat, lazy MEP's say they want to be involved, where were they before? Software patenting is bad news, they'll never get a decent system in place.

One blogger I remember wrote that if the EU did not have software patents we would avoid the situation the US is in, and would be a good way to see which system is better.

I am sure now that the MEP's involved are only doing this because of big business, and I hope that they don't get thier way.
