Kroes hearing
,----[ Quote ]
| On software patents Kroes focussed on
| interoperability within her portfolio.
|
| âWe should discuss what about software
| patentsââ
|
| A view which satisfies stakeholders against
| and for software patenting alike.
|
| [...]
|
| Kroes is the perfect person for the position
| of a âDigital Agendaâ Commissioner. Agenda
| policy is usually a slow and ineffective
| snowball process driven by technocratic
| sermon, an undisputed lie or truth in the
| center of it all. Having someone involved who
| is still able to talk plain language and check
| the premises is very much beneficial. Most
| digital policy matters require a strong focus
| on market order. Who would be better qualified
| than Kroes to get that right?

| What's interesting here is that Kroes is juxtaposing proprietary and open
| source. Now, for you and me, this is reflexive, but for the EU's
| Competition Commissioner to be framing an extremely contentious
| intervention in these terms seems pretty stunning to me. It implies that
| the difference between those two worlds has been interiorised by at least
| some senior politicians to such an extent that they are using it as a
| central part of their analysis in major decisions, without feeling the
| need to justify that approach. Whatever your views on other aspects of the
| decision, I think Kroes deserves some credit for getting to that point.
|
| More importantly, it basically means we're winning, people.
