Nope. That's why I asked :). It was brought to the table as a proposal in order to make those laws more akin in the world. At least partly, since I believe there was no mention of business method patentability, just the patentability of software AKA mathematics. Fortunately the proposal didn't make the ballots. So, for the moment at least, software patents do not apply in the EU. Don't know about Japan. > > should default to installing IDEA unless USA_RESIDENT == yes? > > Perhaps you should check the makefile ;-) In a few hours. I was bating my breath awaiting the arrival of a 19" case. Alas. Baiting it didn't help, either :). Anyway, I need to install that machine ASAP, so I'll just insulate the parts a bit and see if Murphy's asleep. If so then I'll be looking at them makefiles ;).
