[Bodington-developers] petition against upcoming software patents from teaching and learning perspective

[Sean M. <se...@sm...>]

Dear Bodders,

I am part of a working party that has been trying to organize  
opposition to upcoming proposed legislation aimed at implementing  
prohibitive software patents that would hamper teaching and learning.  
Please go to http://flosse.dicole.org/?item=don-t-allow-software- 
patents-to-threaten-technology-enhanced-learning-in-europe and read  
it, and if you agree that this would be a bad thing, consider signing  
the petition.

Thanks,
Sean Mehan
