I am for continuation protesting since the matter is quite
serious. The last court decision about a sw patent of Eolas
which claims m$ has used its technique for embedded links is
a very good example (even if I think m$ can afford to lose
some lawsuits). Even the w3c is concerned about this
decision since it may effect all plugin techniques. Maybe
this decision will help to avoid sw patents in europe.
I suggest to put a statement on top of each page which shows
our protest against sw patents. But I could go with the
current protest page as well.
Any other thoughts/opinions?
Cheers, Uwe
