Story: EC pushes on with patent directive

TheMoai, since I only mentioned software patents there's absolutely no ground for you to suddenly start talking about patents in general.
As for the legal position of software patenting in the EU. Yes that needs to be clarified. But given the sorry state that's currently in it would be far wiser to either drop the current proposal or start from scratch.
So far there's an existing IT economy within the EU that seems to perform rather well. No need to burden them with new laws that are being lobbied for by payed for lobbiests and clueless politicians.
