[edit] Reinstated info about views on software patents

On 14 May 2007, an anonymous user with a European Parliament IP address removed a substantial amount of material about Mr Harbour's controversial views on software patents, without explanation, replacing it with unrelated text some of which is very similar to Mr Harbour's official Conservative party web page (conservatives.com). Indeed, all mention of the term "software patents" was removed, even though Mr Harbour's part in that debate has been one of his most prominent rôles.

I have reinstated the material, as it is relevent, significant and referenced, and was removed without any stated justification. 80.68.82.115 (talk) 15:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
