Software Patents in Europe

[corey]

I like gimp and use it on occation. http://www.gimp.org/
How will this decision effect the open source market in the future from Europe like SuSe?

Now a days I feel that people are just patenting or copyrighting so that they can earn some quick cash from a lawsuit...

Its so sad that they are not competing for the best software but the first to get patented... ( a general statement )
