[Sussex] Europe send patents back to square one.

[Paul Graydon]

Hmmm... Its kinda good and kinda bad though, really.  It just means they're
delaying it rather than dismissing it entirely.
Here goes for the long wait..

Our friends in JURI (part of the European Parliament) have voted in favour
of invoking Rule 55 of the Rules of Parliament.

That means that the software patents directive has to go back to square one,
be rewritten and resubmitted on its own (i.e. not tacked on to bills about
fishing!) for parliamentary review.

The long and short of which is that we are safe again for at least the
foreseeable future.
