: Software Patents in EUJan 26 2005, 22:34 PM

The European Union might pass a law that would legalize software patents. Can this law change software industry or it won't have any effect on the industry at all? Is it ethical to be against it? For it? No Software Patents! website is arguing that “our prosperity, and some of our freedoms, will be in jeopardy” if the law is passed and that is would be “a huge mistake”.
