Hello,
I thought Preston Linux users might be interested in knowing about a 
approaching vote to take place in the European Parliament, concerning 
software patents. Software patents (which are not allowed at the moment in 
the EU) could have an impact on the legal position of producers of free 
software:

And our friendly, neighbourhood MEP for Liverpool & Manchester, Arlene 
McCarthy:
