heise online - EU Council to make another attempt at software patents and continues to trample on the opinion of the population and parliaments. And our government in Berlin sits on its fat ass, greased by the economy, and does nothing. Never mind if such nonsense will cause problems for the software mid-market, never mind if it only benefits the big software giants, never mind if it's just brown-nosing America. Nobody really cares about the issue, after all it's just a bunch of software nerds making a fuss, who cares about them anyway.
And eventually even the dumbest minister will realize that software patents don't create jobs.
