Europeans, Tweak Your Representatives On Patents

Posted by timothy on from the pull-their-noses-gently dept.

zoobab writes "The FFII is launching a call for action to push European candidates to answer questions on Software Patents. Alan Cox has also written a open letter in which he points out that those European elections are an opportunity for each citizen to have the choice and to make the politicians listen. Get the questionnaire and send it to the candidates of your country!"

    FFII may or may not be successful in protecting the EU from software patents (I hope they are), but at least they stand a good chance of winning the "Least Tasteful (mis)use of Stylesheets" award for their website ;-)

    (Seriously - their website looks like a brain haemorrhage, can a web designer who cares about software patents and has some spare time help them out here?!)

    Sorry, but I can (in conjunction with the explanatory notes) understand those documents.

    Are you suggesting the average politician isn't as bright as the average...

    Oh... wait.
