From the Outside: European Council Presidency Adopts Software Patent Agreement

Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Wed 09 Mar 2005 09:48:02 AM UTC.

News just in from the Banana Republic (http://ue.eu.int/): European Council Presidency Adopts Software Patent Agreement Against Council's Rules (http://wiki.ffii.org/Cons050307En). In response, we return the Gna! mainpage to the dark ages, to remind us where software patents will take us if we do not fight them. Help fight patents now! (http://wiki.ffii.org/)

This announce has replaced the usual front page as protest.

Try to get attention of the press (posted by Robert Gloeckner, Sun 13 Mar 2005 01:12:01 PM UTC)

There is a little chance left (the EU-parliament).
But still we should try to get some attention int the press.
Some friends and I will try to place a placard and copying knoppixCDs with a special cover.
The cover is a special folded A4/letter paper, so that printing and covering can be done fast and acurate (no need to glue or cut). If there is interest, I can put it into a project-download area.

Ciao,
Robert

P.S.: German cancelor is an idiot/lawyer, but what about french government, why aren't they defending freedom of mandrake?

Nice, but most people do not understand the problem
