The lobbyists on the side of big soft corps are doing their work in order to see the European Litigation Patent Agreement passed in Europe. Proposals to pass software patentability have been tried 4 or 5 times in the past and always defeated. But they keep trying and this time, the software patent bill is disguised inside a more general schema. We must stop this. Hope that the EFF is already fighting on this one.
