[nettime-see] Fwd: [native-lang] Software Patents in Europe ? :-((


-----Forwarded message-----

Hi all,

I just heard that the vote in the European Parliament on the directive
proposal  about software patentability is scheduled for 30 june.

Many people are concerned that acceptance of the proposal will be
detrimental to the success of open source in Europe, and will greatly
hinder innovation in software, rather than stimulate it (the original
reason for patent law).
Read for example:

For more information: http://www.eurolinux.org , http://www.ffii.org

Try to find a way to help, such as signing the Call for action:
http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/demands/index.en.html
, and by
letting others know about this as well!

Best regards,
Vriendelijke groet,
Simon Brouwer.
