lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to tell Mr McCreevy that I have still not quite understood where exactly he wanted to take us, in particular regarding this problem of the patentability of software. Mr McCreevy, in one minute, I can only say this. Software is a language. Patenting software is exactly like giving people the opportunity to become the exclusive owners of the words or grammatical rules of a language and therefore prevent other people from using them. For example, it allows a company to become the sole owner of the common procedure of closing a file by clicking on the top right-hand corner of the image on the screen of a computer. It is absurd, software should be protected by author’s rights like every language. Author’s rights are the legitimate protection for software that will protect the freedom of small creators."@en1
