Rackspace sued for hosting GitHub

In this Europe is a little bit on a more service providers friendly area, since nobody in their mind would have sued the company hosting a third party's service for what the third party offers. Not because Europe has in theory a legislation against software patents (and I believe it's quite difficult to argue that source code is not "software as such"), but because we have an express liability exclusion for service providers, interpreted quite strictly by the European Courts.
