"Our" opinion doesn't count for them. They are creating "precedents" that recognise the validity of software patents.
Well, on this we clearly disagree :-)
Which is why I wonder why no criticism of this came forward.
On the validity of the patents you mean? I'm sure this will come, but I'm not sure anyone has actually had time to fully go through them yet. Granted, there were only five or so European patents that can be challenged, but I don't doubt that this will come once everything starts to settle down and people start working again after christmas :-)
