Perhaps the real topic here isn't software patents but rather if the EC has rights to exist in the first place. Given its totally ignorant and arrogant attitude towards changes of heart (perhaps inspired by better information gathering) within the greater democratic community that it is suppose to serve. And given that doing the wrong actions could very well turn out to be very costly mistakes that'll impact many. As such a refinding of facts should be welcomed by any powerfull democratic institution which takes its tasks seriously.

Better safe then sorry.
