Software patent campaigner Florian Mueller revealed this week that the City of Munich's decision to stall its Linux migration was the result of a PR stunt by anti-patent campaigners.

In his book, No Lobbyists As Such, which was published on Tuesday, Mueller tells the story of how anti-patent campaigners successfully fought against the software patent directive, which was eventually rejected by the European parliament in July 2005.
