Software Patents Stopped in India

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-means-no dept.

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."

    Okay, so the two references are to a Marxist org and a FSF site. Too much "spin" for me to see straight.

    That doesn't stop me from voicing an opinion. Patents are a pain, and software patents doubly so. But since there are so many "old" ideas getting patented, maybe a few pushes are in order.

    Ya know, failure to capitalize an organisation name is pretty insulting.
