Dutch Parliament Reverses Software Patent Vote

Sanity writes "On May 18th, by a thin majority, the European Council of 
Ministers voted in favor of throwing out the European Parliament's 
efforts to keep software patents out of Europe. According to an FFII 
press release, the Dutch Parliament yesterday voted to change its 
Minister's vote, which was in favor, to an abstension. This is an 
unprecidented move and a great coup for those fighting against software 
patents, never before has a country reversed a vote in this manner. 
While this is not sufficient to reverse the decision of the Council of 
Ministers, it does pave the way for other countries, many of which were 
pressured into an affirmative vote, to do the same. Now is the time for 
citizens of the EU to put pressure on their national governments to 
follow the Dutch lead."
