If big bucks and M$ sponsored multipliers have their way the US patent madness will swap over the pond.

If you like/have benefited from/are involved in open source in any way you may want to consider signing this petition:

http://stopsoftwarepatents.eu/

Thank you.

Full agreement here. Patents ( especially on software ) just get in the way and are a pain ( MP3 for instance )

It's on the thank you page after you've signed the petition.

Not so smart to hide them that well...
