Arun Mehta had posted a great article on software patents, and has kindly given permission to use that text as a basis for any action we may want to take.Thanks for the vote of confidence, Raju -- I have posted the text on the india-gii wiki, so that you can help improve the arguments made in the article. http://www.india-gii.org/wiki/index.php/Position_Papers/Software_Patents
I'm enclosing the whole text here, partly because it's worth a read
and partly because I'd like people to be able to modify and use it
without having to wait for 'net access (RMS for instance mostly reads
mail offline AFAIR).
Count me in on any initiative to take this up with our government.If there is a nice writeup on what is specifically wrong with our software patent policy that needs correcting, I would love to put that up too.
I have not addressed this mail to the various lists you sent this to, Raju, because I am not subscribed to them. Please forward.
Arun
