Software Patents Stopped in India
piyushranjan writes "Indian parliament deleted the section from the patents bill regrading the software patents as left parties prevailed over the Government on the issue. This may be a major victory for free software foundation(fsf) which has been lobbying hard against the bill."
Let's hope that this sets an example that many others will follow.

How does this post get an insightful moderation ? I am really really interested to know as to how havin g no software patents will effect the "outsourcing revenue stream". It has become a trend on /. to link India and outsourcing, and something about stealing jobs, whatever the pretext might be. I have no problems with people talking about and raving against outsourcing -- this is a free forum. However I am certainly against senseless talk.
