IBM's patent offensive
This is one of the major fights in Europe right now - the fight against software patents. So far "we" haven't been doing that well :(
Another big issue: Even though software patents isn't really allowed in Europe, thousands exists anyway :(
Basically, you're sadly mistaken if you think software patents isn't a problem here :(
