<h1>NO Software Patents in Europe</h1>
<h2>10 days of web strike Vs 20 years of patent nightmare</h2>
<div id="content">
<p>
We are protesting against <a href="http://webshop.ffii.org">software patents</a> in Europe.
</p>
<p>
Most software will become <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html">illegal
to use in Europe</a> if this dangerous directive is adopted without proper
amending.
</p>
<p>
The <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/players/bolkestein/index.en.html">Commission</a>
and the <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/cons0401/index.en.html">Council
of Ministers</a> are <b>covertly</b> pushing for <b>unlimited</b> patentability of software,
heavily lobbied by multinationals and patent lawyers.
They are ignoring the <a
href="http://www3.europarl.eu.int/omk/omnsapir.so/pv2?PRG=CALDOC&FILE=20030924&LANGUE=EN&TPV=DEF&LASTCHAP=31&SDOCTA=2&TXTLST=2&Type_Doc=ANNEX&POS=1">democratically voted decision</a> of the European
Parliament from 24 september 2003, which has the support of more than <a
href="http://petition.eurolinux.org">300.000 citizens</a>, <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/ceapme0309/index.en.html">2.000.000
SMEs</a>, dozens of <a
href="http://www.researchineurope.org/policy/patentdirltr.htm">economists</a>
and <a
href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/eubsa-swpat0202/komp0305/index.en.html">scientists</a>.
</p>
<p>
Help to
<a href="http://swpat.ffii.org/papers/europarl0309/demands/index.en.html">
stop</a> software patents.
</p>
<p>
Vote after checking the
<a href="http://kwiki.ffii.org/?ElectPart0405En">attitude</a>
of EU MEPs and groups on Information Infrastructure Issues.
</p>
<p>
Sign the
<a href="http://petition.eurolinux.org">petition</a> to
warn the European Authorities against the dangers of software
patents and the
<a href="http://swpat.ffii.org/letters/cons0406/index.en.html">urgent
appeal</a> to National Governments and Parliaments.
