That was damn close. Poland has asked for the text of the "Directive on the Patentability of Computer-Implemented Inventions" to be changed (see
BBC article), so software cannot be patented. If it had not been blocked, the effects would have been almost unimaginable - had this been introduced twenty years ago, technology would now be at little more than 1984 levels.
Thanks Poland!
