SOFTWARE AG: Software AG: high-tech region study provides further evidence of
need to develop European software industry
,----[ Quote ]
| Regional and national development of industry clusters are a fundamental
| component of modern strategic economic policy. Although Germany's
| Rhine-Main-Neckar cluster has one of the largest global concentration of
| resources it has not yet developed to the extent of similar clusters in the
| US, India or Finland. Impediments common to many European clusters include
| international awareness, access to venture capital, and lack of political
| support including an underdeveloped European software patent system.

Open source activists target software patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source champions are pushing to eliminate software patents from New
| Zealand through a Patents Bill now at the select committee stage in
| Parliament.
|
| Such patents have been accepted by default for many years, but this is
| damaging to the software industry, which subsists to a great extent on
| adapting and including the ideas of previous inventors, says New Zealand Open
| Source Society president Don Christie.
