*I know that this list is no more a list where you post news but I think it is an important notice, ummmmm, though we missed it.
Veteran European anti-software patent campaigners <http://www.ffii.org/>have launched the World Day against Software Patents <http://stopsoftwarepatents.org/>. They say, "The issue of software patents is a global one, and several governments and patent offices around the world continue to grant software & business method patents on a daily basis; they are pushing for legal codification of the practice, such as currently in New Zealand and India. We declare the 24 September as the World Day Against Software Patents, in commemoration of the European Parliament First Reading in 2003 with amendments stopping the harmful patenting of software, guaranteeing that software programmers and businesses can safely benefit from the fruits of their work under copyright law.* Source: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/23/2228237&from=rss -- Shishir Jha EPC 1970,GPO 8975, KTM,NEPAL --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
