Subject: [Patents] European directives ?

Hello there,
  Does anyone know at what stage the disscussion in Europe about software
patents is at ? Am I right in thinking there are still ongoing
consultations and no firm rulings ? Will the Copywrite changes introduced
recently regarding digital music etc have any affect on software?


           Regards  Steve jarvis
