Germany & Patents

[Loic Dachary]

	Hi,

	Articles were published commenting on the recent official position
of the German government against patents. 

	http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2826171,00.html?chkpt=zdhpnews01
	http://fr.news.yahoo.com/011121/35/2a0op.html
	http://www.vnunet.fr/actu/article.htm?numero=8803

	I was not able to find the exact text (is there an interview
somewhere ?). Also some comments worry me since they seem to imply that
the study on which the German government position is based recommends that
the "software patent process should be simplified". 

	I'm a bit confused here, does someone have precise information on
this subject ?

	Cheers,
