Summary of the coming swpat battle

[Ciaran O'Riordan]

I've made an attempt to summarise what's currently happening about software
patents:

http://fsfe.org/en/fellows/ciaran/weblog/the_future_of_the_patents_battle_and_the_july_12th_hearing

The main points are that the next time will be a battle about the judiciary
instead of the rules of patentability, and what difficulties that causes.

If I've left out something that is important enough to appear in such a
short summary, please let me know.
