[Sheflug] European Software Patents

[Richard <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

Just got hold of Linux User magazine.

Phil Hands has written the editorial which is about the proposed
European patents for software.  It's well worth a read.  And, Eben
Moglen in the back pages says "In the end, eight shillings of barbed
wire protects three shillings of property ".  He is referring to
Micro$loth.  Eben is the legal advisor to the Free Software
Foundation.

Phil says he'll be at our demo days next week.  So, if you want to
talk to him please come over.

Thanks
