My email to the EPO:

I wish to inform you that I actually agree with your decision, that software patents are not to be issued or respected.

A patent on software is identicle to a Patent on a cook book.
Both are a collection of words used to give directions in accomplishing a specific task.
Since a cook book is not patentable anywhere in the world, software is not patentable, under the existing laws, anywhere in the world.

I salute you for having both the intelligence and courage to set the correct path and walk it, something that other government bodies fail miserably at doing.

Sincerely,

Jaqui
