It seems that Poland has withdrawn support for EU software patents, which according to The Register, had scuppered the project, at least for the time being. As a software developer myself, I think that this is great news and look forward to a software industry that doesn't revolve around threats and bullying (some background reading about software patents can be found at the FFII).
