Software Patents Law Defeated in EU

This is great news.

If the law had passed, software developers would no longer own what they write and could be sued for selling or distributing their own software. This would not only endanger your job, but the entire European software sector.

Many websites protested against this law, and protests were held in Brussels and Strasburg.
Let's hope now this vote is respected... and that the issue doesn't crop up in future once more.
