We simply sat down and analyzed what Munich is going to run on their clients. We had a list of included applications to start with. Based on that list we went to the FFII patent archives and compiled the PDF.
Not exactly rocket science.
Remember: These are *GRANTED* *EUROPEAN* patents for most of the list. Some are applications, but that has been indicated in the PDF. Also we mentioned one or two US-patents that will be filed in europe too.
We had a HD-crash on saturday and we had to organize physical access to the machine. Unfortunately we couldn't switch DNS to our backup machines www2.ffii.org and www3.ffii.org which are (still) working.
Right now we are working very hard on getting the machine up and running again. This is all doen as voluntary effort, we have no money to spend on this. If you can help by offering mirros and bandwidth - mail me at jan.wildeboer [at] gmx.de
Kind regards

Thanks! At least they do not pretend it is their own solution, something I often see.
May the Source be with us all;-)

As a fromer team member of osCommerce I am always happy to see osCommerce (www.oscommerce.com) in action - also here:
http://shop.xandros.com/default.php
But why has Xandros chosen to remove the powered by line? Don't they want to express at least a bit of supportt for a Free Software solution?
Explain to me, when exactly became cookies something I MUST enable? When became Web-bugs standardized? At which it was ridiculed to have no referrer? And exactly when was it agreed that JavaScript is part of the HTML/XHTML/HTTP standard?
Exactly what is non-standard in my way of browsing the web? If you mean unusual I could agree, but non-standard is wrong.
Hehe. In fact I am filtering cookies, scripts, popups, referrer, webbugs etc.
So I guess I am not very informative about my habits - which I think is my freedom to do. And if a site doesn't work that way, the site owners clearly indicate that they are not willing to accept me a s a visitor - which is their freedom.
IANAL - but IMHO there is prior art available that could turn these patents to where it belongs -/dev/null
Take a look here:

"About Vend, MiniVend's ancestor
Vend was written by Andrew Wilcox in the early part of 1995, and the first released (beta) version was 0.2. Vend 0.2 is the parent of MiniVend, and the first version of MiniVend (called Vend 0.2m7) was totally based on that. It added searching and DBM catalog storage. Subsequent versions took parts from Vend 0.3, especially the VLINK and Server.pm modules, which were adapted to run with MiniVend.
The first release of MiniVend (0.2m7) was on December 28, 1995, making it over four years old. A veritable eon in web time!"
I would love to hear something from Andrew Wilcox (is he still at Akopia/Interchange?) about this.
From my european point of view I can only say that US patents again show to be just as ridiculous as US copyright protection. Gosh.

As this is a majro step for open standards IMHO, we should make sure that the government, parliament and citizens of denmark see the global support.
If you feel similar, please do sign the petition here:

We will deliver the list of signatures to the parliament on tuesday.

My logic is wrong?
Explain to me, when exactly became cookies something I MUST enable? When became Web-bugs standardized? At which it was ridiculed to have no referrer? And exactly when was it agreed that JavaScript is part of the HTML/XHTML/HTTP standard?

/. works well that way ;-)
So I guess I am not very informative about my habits - which I think is my freedom to do. And if a site doesn't work that way, the site owners clearly indicate that they are not willing to accept me a s a visitor - which is their freedom.

I am not able to view any of the mentioned links. Keeps on redirecting between login and some other page.
Funny to see that someone complaining about abuse links to pages that do not work with Webwasher filtering.

Lik-Sang are using our OpenSource eCommerce solution called osCommerce (shameless plug, I know).
They were always one of our best refernces. Dammit.
The german government(!) is sponsoring a project to use GNUPG. Details (Achtung! German!) can be found here:
0 91 -eng.exe
http://www.gnupp.de/start.html
Roughly translated:
Security for e-mail, e-commerce and e-government. The goal of this project is to deliver free encryption software that's easy to use.
The fun thing is this:
http://www3.gdata.de/gpg/download.html
and if you don't understand those strange words, you can download here:
http://gdataspace.de/download/gpg/GDATA_plugin_
This is an Outlook-Plugin for GnuPG. Using this plugin GNUPG is easy as 1-2-3.
