Software Patent Demonstrations Taking Off

feklee writes "The preparations for the rally against software patents on Wednesday are running at full speed. Thanks to announcements in DWN, on KDE, in the Register, and elsewhere, the Online Demo has already more than 600 participants such as Savannah and KDE.de. Now, what about your project?"

And flagboy writes "A group of economists from Europe and the U.S. specialising in patent questions have published a letter to members of the European Parliament calling on them to reject the proposal, accompanied by an analytical paper which casts severe doubts on the reasoning behind the directive and on the methods employed by its proponents." Here's the FFII Press Release.

Are we Have any Hope ?

So what if GNU/GPL gonna REALLY hurts software turf. Is that scumbags really sit down and say "Ok they are better than us. We lost".

Do you believe this ?

I'm not sure. That SCO thing just the begining. Every time Open Source gain a market they launch new attack which is more powerful even before.

Perhaps My crystal ball looks like too pessimistic.

And or I'm asking a question. Where is the evindeces of IRAQ, why US soldiers are still there. If there is any Law in this World US have to retreat from IRAQ.

But they aren't.

So if you believe this yabada doo protect us from those patent MOBS, this is your problem.

I'm gonna stock AK 47's and some RPG s.

Heh!
