It is better than a bad directive. However, assuming it is voted down,
then we're back with "software as such" (aren't we?) and I expect
patent litigation to be fought and sometimes won because of the
ambiguity of that phrase.

I wouldn't be too keen on claiming a victory. I won't be suprised if
a media campaign attempts to blame our side for *obstructing
patent harmonisation in Europe*.

Malcohol.
