The discussion on the proposed software patents law before the European Parliament has been withdrawn. According to the Parliament Office in Ireland, "this happens when a directive is very controversial or when too many amendments are proposed". I wonder if the controversy has anything to do with the public outcry over the proposed law organised by the FFII? I hope so; this is another example of how we can make a difference if we mobilise a little.
