help at all?

| Software Patents in Europe |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| On September 1st 2003 the European Parliment will make a |
| decision about establishing a new law which would allow |
| software patents in Europe. This means that Europe's |
| programmers and citizens alike could face considerable |
| risk. |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Unlike copyright, patents can block independent creations! |
| Software patents can render software copyright useless. |
| One copyrighted work can be covered by hundreds of patents |
| of which the author doesn't even know but for whose |
| infringement he and his users can be sued. Some of these |
| patents may be impossible to work around, because they are |
| broad or because they are part of communication standards. |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| What can you do to help? FFII/Eurolinux are organising |
| activities in and near the parliment to bring about an |
| interdisciplinary discussion in a field which has for too |
| long been dominated by industrial patent lawyers. |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
