Subject: [Fsfe-uk] Can more be done on the swpat e-petition?



The petition against software patents has only 1,817 signatories and is
ranked number 45 of all the petitions:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/list/open?sort=signers

It lags behind "legalise cannabis" and "replace the national anthem with
'Gold' by Spandau Ballet".

The deadline is Feb 20th.  Members of this list have probably already
signed it, so the request has to reach a wider audience.  Can people
pass it on to their regional GNU/Linux user groups, A2K groups, free
software groups, anti-swpat groups, software user forums, etc.?

Here's the url:
