Hello. Can anyone report what is going on with the EU software patents?
How they would affect immediately the audio and graphics development
we are doing? Xine? Sodipodi? Others?
---------
Well, they'd affect everything; Software patents (or "logical algorythmic patents")
are a disaster. You know the status bar in an Installing application like "Install
Shield
Wizzard" ? Well, with these patents ONE firm could own these structure; EVERY other
application would use this kind of algorythmic would be forbidden .... .
