: It is fully understood that the issue at hand is a tremendous threat to Open Source, to the medium level businesses and the economical welfare of us all. So I definitely agree with all kinds of measurements against software patentability like standing on the toes of your political representatives, the press, etc. BUT: The situation is not as serious as some people say. Why? ... 2. If all runs bad and the council will vote in favour of the draft, there is still the 2nd reading coming up not before September. If the EU parliament will stick to their vote of last year the whole thing will vanish in the realms of the expert conferences, the mediator meetings and such. In this case the issue may well take many months or even years to be decided. We all know that from experience, especially the Germans in their political No-Go-situation. 3. EU parliament elections will take place on June 13, and it is in our hands (the EU citizens) to give our vote to parties and politicians known to have an opinion on this issue - an opinion in our favour, of course! So, the question whether the Parliament will remain steady against the Council can be answered by you, the voters! I take the whole matter as serious as anybody else but I don't panic! Yahoo!
