Here's a message I received from another mailing list. I'm curious what the Revolution team's take is on this. I can not tell if the parliament's proposal was to stop patenting software logic, or software products in general (as some clearly desire), or if there is a difference, how you make the distinction.
Would this shackle or unshackle software giants? How do you think it affects Rev's future? As a USA consumer intermittently relying on commercial European software innovation (XMLSpy, Revolution), I'd be disappointed to see it end, or even to see quality deteriorate. --Walt Sumner ------- Forwarded Message .... No software patents in Europe, FSFE requests EPO review instrument *After years of struggle, the European Parliament finally rejected the software patent directive with 648 of 680 votes: A strong signal against patents on software logic, a sign of lost faith in the European Union and a clear request for the European Patent Office (EPO) to change its policy: the EPO must stop issuing software patents today http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/press-release/2005q3/000109.html _______________________________________________ os-wg mailing list .... ------ End of Forwarded Message _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
