It is a resolution, not legislation. In practice, almost any legislation with significant effect would have to occur at the European level.

It is still a big story, because it is a motion supported by all parties in the German parliament except the "Linke" (who don't like software patents, either). That would at the very least indicate that German interests seem to be pretty strongly aligned against software patents.

I'm from Germany. Havn't read anything about this on news or tech sites for weeks.

I don't think so. I would have heard otherwise.
