Hi!

I'm sorry, I don't speak any polish at all, but I think all open source users and programmers in Europe are happy that the EU software patent law was put on hold due to a last minute intervention from Poland!

Yeah, we all are happy - for now at least. But I fear that this is not the end of the fight over patents and It will finally end like in the USA :(

I hope not.

P.S. I'm very happy too.

Cheers. 8)

No, I didn't know about that before. I just signed the letter.
