Just a comment.
"Despite this the European Patent Office found that a technical process
produced by a computer program could be separated from the computer
program itself."
http://www.beauprez.net/softpat/legalfacts3.html
It can of course be separated. But the separation does not solve any
real problem. It is a meaningless separation.
I can separate my right hand from my left, but the question which hand
is guilty of murder is a meaningless question.
Btw, this "Article 4 Restricted Acts" quote is really great!
"the permanent or temporary reproduction of a computer program by any
means and in any form, in part or in whole. Insofar as loading,
displaying, running, transmission or storage ”
