Poland Erases EU's Pro-Software Patent Majority

Posted by timothy on from the you-forgot-poland dept.

Algorithm wrangler writes "It looks like there is no longer a majority for software patents in the EU. Yay to our Polish friends - glad you made it in ... Now we can just hope for a bigger push in my own country too (the Danish minister got fried over this issue recently)."

    3.98:1 exchange for Polish zloty to the dollar

    Actually, according to Polish Central Bank it's 3.2582/3.2758/3.3240 (sell/mean/buy) today.

    US dolar used to be even >4.0 some time ago (2002), but since the beginning of Dubya presidency it's constantly falling. Not that I claim that those two are related ;)
