NewsForge On U.S. Advice To EU On Software Patents

Posted by timothy on from the your-programming-license-please dept.

An anonymous reader points to Roblimo's "interesting article about how the U.S. sold out to software patents and the EU should as well." Should be of interest to Europeans, forced as they are "to suffer from willy-nilly software development by individuals who have not been screened, approved, and trained by corporate human resources professionals."

    See that thing passing way over your head there?

    That was the sarcasm in the line you quoted.

    However, your exemplary slashbot behavior is sure to be rewarded, as from your post it's entirely obvious that you managed to avoid getting anywhere near the article, never mind reading it.

    ... as I give a test to my students. You need to stop posting these threads on Wednesday night when I generally don't have time to read them. (Like the infinite twin primes proof from two weeks ago.)

    Thank you for your consideration. :)
