Yes, European-style "as such" exclusion, a bit clarified but still the same basic idea. Lexology writes this about today's decision: http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=b966049f-14d9-...

"The computer program exclusion is the subject of two governmental supplementary order papers (SOPs). Government SOP 120 introduces a European-style 'as such' exclusion that is considered to be more consistent with New Zealand's international obligations and precedents. More recent SOP 237 introduces several additional new clauses intended to clarify the meaning of the term 'as such'."
