EP Software Patent War Rears Its Ugly Head (Again!)

A post on Znet "Software patent war ignites again"
informs that despite being derailed last year in a unanimous vote by MEPs, that the European Parliment Software Patent debate is once again raising its ugly head.

This time round it appears that if new measures are approved, of which voting is to take place next month on 10th & 11th October, this debate may possibly be removed from the hands of our elected MEPs!

Sounds like BIG businesses have spat their dummies out as they aren't getting their own way and are trying to influence politics to suit their own interests. I shall be emailing my local MEP to obtain further information and hopefully to have a dialouge with them.
