NO Software Patents in Europe
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2004 8:53 am
I'm protesting against software patents in Europe.
The Commission and the Council of Ministers are covertly pushing for unlimited patentability of software, heavily lobbied by multinationals and patent lawyers. They are ignoring the democratically voted decision of the European Parliament from 24 september 2003, which has the support of more than 300.000 citizens, 2.000.000 SMEs, dozens of economists and scientists.
Pierre.
