"On Aug 28th, the European Parliament postponed its vote on the proposed
EU Software Patent Directive. The day before, approximately 500 persons
had gathered for a rally beside the Parliament in Brussels, accompanied by
an online demonstration involving more than 2000 websites. The events in
and near the Parliament were reported extensively covered in the media,
including tv and radio, all over Europe and beyond. Within a few days, the
petition calling the European Parliament to reject software patentability
accumulated 50,000 new signatures. "
