    "Indian parliament deleted the section from the patents bill regrading the software patents as left parties prevailed over the Government on the issue. This may be a major victory for free software foundation(fsf) which has been lobbying hard against the bill."

    Good for them.

    Question though, can software created in India using 'parts' that are patented in the US / EU then be sold back to US / EU without infringing those patents?
