I don't think so. The winds are changing and blowing into the faces of those who are in favour of software patents. Unfortunately the European Council is still amongs those - in contrary to most European parliaments. I do hope that the council will be unable to enforce its directive on software patents: As of today they suffered a heavy defeat when they wanted to silently pass the directive without discussion in the Agriculture and Fisheries (!) configuration: Poland's representative refused to wave through the council's directive without discussion. This caused the case to be taken off from the agenda. However, other ministers in the council did not have that courage and would have passed the guideline because they simply did not want to blame the Netherlands which have the council's presidentship at present. Now the blame is on themselves. Everything is open again: Next year Luxembourg will have the presidentship, and one might wonder whether they want to carry on with this stuff. The change in presidentship might offer a change for the European goverments to start listening to their parliaments and abandon any further tries to enforce software patents. Even if the European Council manages to pass the directive there is still the European Parliament which has already proven to be against software patents and could cancel the directive. All in all, I am quite optimistic for 2005. Best regards Rainer Klute Rainer Klute IT-Consulting GmbH Dipl.-Inform.

I'd like to have the complete body going to at least one mailing list. I
often collect my e-mails and read them on the train. A brief notice with link is
hard to follow then.

I often pull new e-mail over to my notebook and read it on the train. Not only that I won't follow links, I simply can't. And no, I won't spend money on a mobile connection.
