We are protesting against <a href="http://webshop.ffii.org">software patents</a> in Europe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most software will become <a
|
|
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html">illegal
|
|
to use in Europe</a> if this dangerous directive is adopted without proper
|
|
amending.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a
|
|
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/players/bolkestein/index.en.html">Commission</a>
|
|
and the <a
|
|
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html">Council
|
|
of Ministers</a> are <b>covertly</b> pushing for <b>unlimited</b> patentability of software,
|
|
heavily lobbied by multinationals and patent lawyers.
|
|
They are ignoring the <a
|
|
href="http://www3.europarl.eu.int/omk/omnsapir.so/pv2?PRG=CALDOC&FILE=20030924&LANGUE=EN&TPV=DEF&LASTCHAP=31&SDOCTA=2&TXTLST=2&Type_Doc=ANNEX&POS=1">democratically voted decision</a> of the European
|
|
Parliament from 24 september 2003, which has the support of more than <a
|
|
href="http://petition.eurolinux.org">300.000 citizens</a>, <a
|
|
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/ceapme0309/index.en.html">2.000.000
|
|
SMEs</a>, dozens of <a
|
|
href="http://www.researchineurope.org/policy/patentdirltr.htm">economists</a>
|
|
|
|
and <a
|
|
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/komp0305/index.en.html">scientists</a>.
