IBM patents : good or evil ?

[Jerome Alet]

Hi all,

In the light of the recent BIG event of IBM patents being
made available to free software developpers, I'm wondering :

        - couldn't this be used by the pro-patent lobby to
          make software patents become a reality in Europe ?

any comment ?

thanks in advance
