Here's some ammunition for our letter: it looks like New Zealand will abolish software patents: http://www.nzcs.org.nz/news/blog.php?/archives/97-.html# | Hon Simon Power announced today that he wouldn't be modifying the | proposed Patents Bill hence software will be unpatentable once the Bill | passes into law. There are some good quotes in there, too. Perhaps we should change the tone of our letter to specifically recommend that Australia follow New Zealand's lead in this (rather than just using it as an example). But I suppose that could be dangerous, in the event that this bill doesn't get passed. Cheers, Alex
