Date: 2009/1/26<br>Subject: [lugmaster] Stopping Software Patents - let us make a difference in 2009<br>To: <a href="mailto:lugmaster@mailman.lug.org.uk">lugmaster@mailman.lug.org.uk</a><br><br><br>... is the subject of a mail I recently received from the FFII.<br>
<br>
Seems like the kind of thing that's often mentioned here for consideration<br>
for raising on local LUG lists. See <a href="http://stopsoftwarepatents.eu/" target="_blank">http://sto<span dir="ltr"><lugm@xxxxxsh.co.uk></span><span dir="ltr"><lugm@xxxxxsh.co.uk></span>psoftwarepatents.eu/</a> for<br>
further details. I'm surprised nobody's already mentioned it, but traffic<br>
here has been rather low lately, admittedly. Happy New Year all, hope<br>
you're<br>
well.<br>
<br>
I thought all this Euro s/w patent rubbish had already been nailed, but<br>
of course I should have realised that just because something's rejected<br>
once it doesn't mean the lobbyists pack up and go away. It's going to be<br>
harder and harder to regenerate enthusiasm and keep signing petitions and<br>
objecting to this, so I hope you agree with me it's important to spread<br>
this far and wide.<br>
<br>
For those who don't agree with me, apologies for the intrusion and my<br>
asbestos suit is cleaned and ironed, ready for use.<br>
