Torvalds, Widenius, and Lerdorf against software patentsTorvalds, Widenius, and Lerdorf against software patentsPosted Nov 23, 2004 15:26 UTC (Tue) by dwalters (guest, #4207)Parent article: Torvalds, Widenius, and Lerdorf against software patents
I must admit I'm shocked that the EU Council can even consider adopting the May 18th position later this week, given that not only is there no longer a qualified majority in the Council in favour of the position, but the German and Dutch parliaments have stated that they don't support the position either (i.e. their votes in May should now be treated as if they were against adopting the directive).
If the EU Council adopts the May 18 directive this week, it will be a massive slap in the face for European democracy (and surely something that can and should be vigorously appealed legally).
