Yes... it's never over.
You can check Florian's blog on this... It shows amongst other things
"two PDF files about the EPLA, including a diagram that shows why the
EPLA would among other bad things lead to the legalization of software
patents in Europe"

As Bolestein said in his speech in 2003, they'll do their best to find
other ways if the democratic way doesn't work.
BTW I'm trying to find a transcript of the session in septembre 2003
where they voted on this, can someone help me there ?

Hi,
according to Heise News (sorry, in german) here:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/77998
the next round in software patents is coming in
form of the EPLA, European Patent Litigation
Agreement.
This would create a cross-EU court on patent
stuff, which would codify the years-old practice
of the EPA of giving out software patents.
Greetings, Eric
