No, they're not having legal issues. There just making some misguided protest about a subject they clearly don't understand. The software patents directive is a non-issue blown out of all proportion. My partner is a eurpoean patent attorney so knows what's really going on here, i've also spoken to people in her firm about this. This directive does nothing more than to set into law how patenting of software is _currently_ handled. The laws which have been applied up till this point were not designed with software in mind, this is what is being but right. Quite simply, the directive is deisgned to maintain the current status quo with regards to patenting of soatware, the whole point behind it is that the law is clarrified whilst having _no_ material impact.
