(hier finden sich auch weitere Informtationen zur Problematik. Auch in anderen Städten sind Demonstrationen geplant)
Ich gehe davon aus, daß SW-Patente ein großes Problem für die europäische IT-Landschaft darstellen, falls sie zugelassen werden.

P.S. Was Bill Gates von SW-Patenten hält;
[Aus http://www.lessig.org/blog/]
“If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today’s ideas were invented and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete stand-still today. The solution . . . is patent exchanges . . . and patenting as much as we can. . . . A future start-up with no patents of its own will be forced to pay whatever price the giants choose to impose. That price might be high: Established companies have an interest in excluding future competitors.” Fred Warshofsky, The Patent Wars 170-71 (NY: Wiley 1994).
