With all the discussion on the web about all the bad law in the US it is often easy to miss bad law in your own country. What is the situation in NZ with regard to software patents? I know there is lots of discussion on various OSS/FS sites about the current wrangling in the EU over software patents. Do we have evil laws in NZ regarding this? If we do it would probably be a good idea to start making some noise about it.
Sounds like a good thing for us to discuss :) I've created a page on the WLUG wiki site: http://www.wlug.org.nz/SoftwarePatentsDiscussion that briefly summarises the situation as far as I can tell... anyone who wants to add to it or correct it should feel free to edit the page. John
