Dutch Say No to Software Patent Directive
Rik writes "Thursday night the Dutch parliament has decided that the Dutch government should not vote for the EU Software Patent Directive at the European Council of Ministers next week. The decision of the Dutch parliament strengthens attempts of MEPs of the European Parliament to send the Software Directive back to the drawing board."
God bless them cheeseheads! Lets all wear wooden clogs and chant stranges incantaions in recognition of their greatness!
-if at first you don't succeed, stay the heck away from paragliding.
Cheeseheads? You are lagging behind. For quite some time now, we are widthly known to be potheads.
All kidding aside, this is, imho, the first good decision our parliament has made in quite some time. Good to see there are still some remains of our once so liberal nation.
By the way, why would you chant strange incantaions in recognition of our greatness? Am I missing some reference to my own folklore here?
