Patents: The FFII are suggesting a 10-day online ‘net strike’ to protest against the ongoing attempts to legalise software patenting in Europe.
As a result, I’m putting up a protest front page on these sites:
- this weblog
- my personal home page
- My software sites: EtText, <a href="http://webmake.taint.org/”>WebMake, <a href="http://sitescooper.org"> Sitescooper, <a href="http://scoops.sitescooper.org/”>Sitescooper Daily Scoops
If you support the actions of FFII, <a href="http://demo.ffii.org/online.php"> please join in, or even <a href="http://demo.ffii.org/brussels.php”>attend the in-person demonstration in Brussels! We need to make it clear that the small software developers of Europe do not support these undemocratic actions.
And finally, shame on the <a href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html”>Irish EU Council presidency for supporting the EPO hook, line and sinker. Thanks, and I know who I’ll be voting for in future…
