	Hi,

	I spent a few hours reconstructing the history of the revision
of EPC (European Patent Convention) that started in 1997 and had the
goal of allowing software patents. The result is at

	http://www.fsfeurope.org/swpat/patents.en.html

	and I cut/pasted it in 

	http://petition.eurolinux.org/reference/agenda/

	In addition I wrote a terse summary of the software patent situation
at http://www.fsfeurope.org/swpat/swpat.en.html.

	Hartmut, would you like me to put that summary somewhere on 
petition.eurolinux.org ? 

	Cheers,
