It is very old and misguided news. What failed in india was replacing 
the exclusion of "software per se" with the exclusion of "software when 
not used in combination with hardware". They did add that a 
"significant economic effect" is enough to get a patent though. It's 
all hogwash and definitely not misinformation which we should spread, 
because it will backfire when people are informed about the truth.
