What would you be willing to pay for a translation of the Kolle article on
the non-technicity of computer programs, based on the Dispositionsprogramm
decision, of 1977

        http://swpat.ffii.org/vreji/papri/grur-kolle77de.html

and for the recent Federal Patent Court decision which rejected claims to
a "computer program" and a "computer program product" and refuted some of
the recent theories of EPO and BGH, based on the traditional technicity
theory:

We might announce that you are paying this sum and then find a translator.  
Some people are willing to do this work for a fairly low pay, but it would
not be very realistic to offer less than US cent per character.
