Hmmm. Weird. I had no mail. Well maybe I unsubscribed after a while.
I signed again though.

What I think is odd is that the achievements on http://www.ffii.org/ are not dated.

Dit is toch al een oude site? Ik heb dit 2 of meer jaar geleden al getekend toen dit op de europese politieke agenda stond.

Yes it’s an old site. You may have signed the petition already but I got this by mail from the organisation:

Dear Eurolinux supporter, Eddie Niese

the Eurolinux petition for software patent-free Europe with more than
400 000 supporters expired. We ask you to sign a new petition:

So the counter was reset. So please go over and do your signing magic Bart…. Well if you still agree with the petition that is.

Look at what is happening in the US. A whole leeching industry thrives on patents there. It’s disgusting and killing for innovation!

Cheers!! You are right! Software patents is hampering innovation instead of stimulating it. I hope more people will sign the petition.
