What about software patents in India?

The open source community is rejoicing ever since Europe rejected software patents … which leads me to the question, what’s the situation in India?

I came across the following pages:

• ArsTechnica on “India rejects software patents”
• Stallman speaking at Government Model Engineering College
• CPI(M) on Patents

So, India does not have software patents (as of now), but is under pressure from WTO and other organizations.

Well, as long as we have sensible people like Manmohan Singh and Abdul Kalam at the helm the Left supporting the Centre, we’re safe.
