Are EU software patents (finally) dead?

Reports today that EU has rejected the "software patent" bill, throwing questions into how "software" would be protected. The vote was overwhelming. So the EU has database law, but no software law. Will software be reformatted as databases? Will companies continue to fight in individual EU countries? Stay tuned. This battle took a long time in coming, and I bet backers won't give up without a fight.
