Such optimism!

Could we please keep our political agendas away from here?

Some like the EU, some Don't like it. Others want to change it in one direction and others yet in a diffrent. Many don't even know or care what EU is, and very few of us understands EU at all.
All of it has little to do with Amiga or even computers at all.


Not to be argumentive but this has everything to do with Amiga or computers.  For a good read about why patents are bad for software go here.

If you refer to the political discussion about the pros and cons of the EU then you may be right.  But there are a lot of people from all around the world here and their politics help define them as it is part of their environment.  By that nature alone the subject of politics and personal views will leak into these posts.  Nothing to do but sit back and enjoy it, IMHO. :-)
