  Heise  is   reporting  [0]  that Munich's  mayor  has  held  a press
  conference, in which he said that the bidding process for the switch
  from Windows to Linux will go forward as originally planned, despite
  patent issues. Thanks to Matthias for spotting this first.

  Mayor Ude, who said he's been thinking it  over for a few days, says
  there  will be a  legal  study completed   by Autumn concerning  the
  migration, and if it looks safe, they  will go forward and meanwhile
  the  bidding  begins. Munich,   he  said, wants  to   stay with  its
  commitment  to Linux. He also announced   that the city  is going to
  request a legal   study on the  question  of what  consequences  the
  EU-directive  on    the    patentability of    "computer-implemented
  inventions"  will have  in the  current version  of  the Council  of
  Ministers's proposed law.
