Xinhua - English: "Participants at a gathering in Thiruvananthapuram, capital of Karala, to campaign for free software expressed happiness that their lobbying had put at bay attempts to allow software to be patented, at least for the time being.
But they warned that unless the country was careful, India could be stepping into a minefield that could affect software developers.
Last December, a presidential ordinance threatened to bring software under patents, causing much angst among software developers nationwide. After considerable lobbying, the software developers managed to avert the 'threat'."
