Yes, we must make sure the politicians don't get the chance to damage our industry by importing this US softeare patents laws. It will be very damaging to our industry. I will help protest any local software patent laws if they come up.

hi,

on 6th of July, the European Parliament will vote on "software patents" and if approved will codify US-style Software Patents in the EU.

Cant say how much impact it will have on India (i think it will) but we can definitely protest so if any list members who have websites are interested they can participate in the "web strike" or put up banners until the vote. here is the link : http://noepatents.eu.org/index.php/Web_Demo_Against_Software_Patents
