#title: News Services and Software Patents

#descr: An attempt to document the reporting of various news media on
questions of patents and information infrastructures.  Some media have
done excellent independent research while some are mouthpieces of the
patent lobby and help spread lies against their better knowledge. 
Most are in between.  We try to gain an overview.

#lWo: Reynald Fléchaux of IDG and Le Monde Informatique: Excellent research

#ulW: Paul Meller of IDG: repeated extreme misinformation

#taW: Matthew Newman of Dow Jones, Yahoo etc

#hac: Other articles

#Iov: Works also for IDG France, thus in the same family of companies as
Paul Meller, but of very different quality.

#fhc: Interviewed 20 medium size software companies in France, reports their
different experiences with software patents.  Very few have much
experience, most would prefer to be left alone and go on using
copyright.
