[Galpon] Fwd: Software Patents: 11-13 work days till Second Reading in Parliament

La "Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada" se está escribiendo... La votación en el parlamento europeo será entre el 5 - 7 de Julio. En el campo de batalla las Patentes de Software. De un lado, nosotros, la Comunidad del Software Libre y, del otro, las multinacionales del Software Privativo. Ya ha empezado la lucha... y es tremendamente encarnizada. http://noepatents.eu.org ---------- Mensaje reenviado ---------- Subject: Software Patents: 11-13 work days till Second Reading in Parliament Date: Sábado, 18 de Junio de 2005 10:23 From: FFII <feedback(a)ffii.org> To: spam2(a)ciudadprohibida.com Dear Carlos RODRIGUEZ [1], 1) The vote in the Second Reading on the software patent directive is in 11-13 work days, on 5-7 July. 2) Lobbying in Brussels is heavy, currently there is much pressure on MEPs by pro-software-patent companies. The pro-patent lobby has about 30 lobbyists more than we, mostly wearing the hat of SMEs. 3) Your action is needed, at http://noepatents.eu.org/ we maintain a list of what you can do as an SME and as an individual. Especially we advise to see your MEP soon and, if you can speak for an SME, to visit the Economic Majority conference 29 June Brussels http://www.economic-majority.com/konf050629/. Please decide to come the conference early, so that a date with your MEP or with his/her assistant can be arranged in advance. With kind regards, Hartmut Pilch, Gérald Sédrati-Dinet, FFII [1] You have registered as crodrigu in http://aktiv.ffii.org/.
