Are we sure that follows DFSG yet? FSF have been a little patchy about
broad software patent termination clauses, IMO, which is probably
partly because software patents are unfair and no software should be
patented.
Any DDs in the EU should be writing to their MEP to try to get a
rejection vote in the next pass of the software patent directive,
especially given that some EPP members claim that they have no
influence any more!
