>The problem is real and the software "industry" is not young. 

When I said the software industry is young, I was referring to the fact that 
it was barely in its infancy when the EPC and most national patent laws were 
written.  The EPC was completed in 1973 - 8 years (?) before the first PC.  
What did software look like in 1973?  Who was using computer programs then, 
and for what purpose?
