[LUG] Software Patents

 

Glyn Ford is Labour MEP for the South West. 
Apparently he sends out monthly newsletters. I have
just July's (no I did not ask for it!).  Anyway, he
has this to say on software patents:-

"Glyn thanks you for the numerous letters he has
received from you regarding software patents ? the
campaigns for and against have been fiercely divided. 
In the end, the legislation was rejected by the
European Parliament ? showing that the European
Parliament is not prepared to approve ambiguous and
inadequate legislation.  Recognising the need for
legislation on this issue, however, Labour MEPs now
want to see agreement within the Council of Ministers,
resulting in good legislation for the Parliament to
re-examine."
