New Zealand Government Announces That Software Will No Longer Be Patentable

http://j.mp/11W1udG  (Forbes)

   "In a bill passed earlier today, the Government of New Zealand
    announced that software in the country will no longer be patentable.
    New Zealand's largest IT representative body, the Institute of IT
    Professionals, expressed relief and said the decision removed a major
    barrier to software-led innovation."
