A little one sided you may think
It's merely a rewrite of EICTA's PR, so it's quite logical...
Yes, but there is indeed an interesting statement, at the
end : McGann says that software "is adequately protected
by copyright". This is extremely important. We should
get the original quote.
Because now one of their arguments vanishes, and we have
"just" to ensure that the directive does not patent software,
since now they admit there is no rationale to patent it.
This is indeed a blow for EICTA members such as Microsoft
and such, which patent it in the US... 8^)
