EU Software Patents Dead Again

Joe Blakesley writes "Heise is reporting (in German) that the JURI (legal division of the European Parliament who tend to be more pro-EPO) have voted to invoke Rule 55 for a total restart of the software patents process (going back through the anti-swpat Parliament with a totally new directive) following attempts by the EC to get their directive through by the back door. This is an important victory for democracy and it means we can no longer say that the JURI is out. Also see Groklaw's story."

Best governator?... he don't know math. Let's see, his first act was to give everyone a car tax refund thereby creating $5 billion in additional debt. Second act was to issue long term bonds so our children will have to pay for this debt (this is a new "birth tax"). Now he wants to dismantle education, health care, and assistance to the poor and disabled so he can give more tax "relief" to the rich folks.

It's the new (Republican) American Dream... once you get yours, screw everyone else. /Mark
