Some comments on this article are very ill-informed about how the EU works. Voting "no" to the Constitutional Treaty will not make things any better.

Decisions in the EU are not made by the Commission but by the Council of Ministers. Our government is actively promoting the extension of patents into software. See the literature published by the Patent Office and the transcript of the meeting held at the DTI on December 14th.
