Stop Software Patents in Europe!

The European Parliament is going to vote on software patents soon. Already, many harmful and/or trivial patents were accepted in Europe, which are just waiting for a proper legal status to become enforcable.

While it is not necessary that all software patents are invalid, obviously most of them are, and so the best thing to do is to prevent them from becoming legally enforcable. Stop software patents now!

Refer to the FFII Page about this for more information.
