I'm not quite sure if the LWN report about the CeBit inicident is correct. The police raided
the booth for *devices*, not for software. None of the pure software shops have been addressed
so far.

I don't want to adress here if it's sensible to have patents on hardware implementations of
algorithms; simply want to state that this is the case in Europe. And that seems to be the
legal background for the CeBit incident, not any software patent.
