Hi,
unfortunately the FFII and related organizations have been forced into
some last minute actions to prevent the council from "silently" passing
the EU Software Patent directive in the Agriculture and Fisheries
Council on Tuesday next week. That would be one major step towards the
legalization of Software Patents in Europe. Read more about it on the
corresponding protest page:
http://demo.ffii.org
In spite of the last minute call for protest, quite a large number of
corporations, organizations, and individuals have decided to participate
in a Web-Demo which may prove to be an important channel to make the
press aware of the topic.
It would be great if FVWM, an large and well known Free Software
project, could participate in the demo, either by substituting the home
page, or by putting a banner on web page(s). Links to banners can be
found on the demo page mentioned above.
Please also help spreading the word quickly, by contacting Free Software
projects and other players in the software business. I need to get some
sleep now. %-)
Felix
PS: I still have some more FVWM logo images lying on my hard disk that I
haven't gotten around to finish up. If you want to include a banner or
some such thing into FVWM 2.5, let me know, and I'll hurry up.
