If you don't allow them to patent software then the whole issue
doesn't arise.

The EU still looks to be mindlessly following the whim of a few
lobbists into allowing patents on software, and business
practices.

I'll patent being nasty to your customers, and not knowing about
your products, no one will dare admit to having prior art, and
I'll make a killing at the level of British customer service for
infringements ;)
