Can't understand the HO "commercial in confidence" stance unless they have seen a different system/patent from the one published. More likely to be some kind of Civil Service embarrassment clause in the FOIA.

I still can't find any change to the EU patenting system (despite many attempts at change recently) that would allow Phorm's patent anyway. My understanding is that you still cannot patent software or a business process in Europe (inc. UK) and Phorm's patent is both and nothing else.

As for BT's view on copyright I have just a few lines to quote ...

<Directory "/web" >

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ErrorDocument 403 "/error/noscumware.jpg"

Deny from every.BT.address.I.can.find

</Directory>
