European MP Responds on Software Patents

Posted by michael on from the foad dept.

Wolfbone writes "The Guardian newspaper has a contributed article from the European politician Arlene McCarthy in which she responds to a previous article in the same organ by RMS and Nick Hill on the issue of software patents. If the appalling mixture of misrepresentation, non sequitur, solecism and faux-naivete does not make your blood boil, you are a cold fish indeed."

    I'm going to retire scoop.giz. People are right about the geekizoid name forever being associated with crap.

    We will go back up with a new domain name at some point in the future when I find something I like. Any suggestions on a name?
