It has got nothing to do with further integration. The whole EU needs turning upside down or scrapping. There is no way that unelected bureaucrats should be able to ignore the elected representatives. The whole thing needs rebuilding.
There can be an EU, but the current incarnation is closer to Stalinism than democracy. The council of ministers prove that with their constant denials of reality and their deafness to anyone opposed to their point of view.
All this confusion about patents is a complete mess. Software is not and never has been an invention. It is a written work. You cannot patent any published work - magazines, books, movies or videos. You cannot patent mathematical formulae or methods. Why should software be the only authoured work that you can patent?
