[Gimp-developer] software patent protest?
I noticed that http://www.gimp.org has gone 'black', in order to protest European software patents. A noble cause, for sure, but should this not have been announced at least, perhaps even debated? Or did my trigger-happy, spam-seeking delete-finger erase that message accidentally? -- branko collin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

It has been discussed on gimp-web, see the thread Re: [Gimp-web] [Fwd: Netstrike against swpats] (Msg-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]). www.gimp.org could be returned to normal now, though.

Or did my trigger-happy, spam-seeking delete-finger erase that message accidentally? i am also wondering who comprises the people who can just make these decisions. i suggested for a very long time that we run the apache module that disallows micro$oft software (or similarly aliased software) for several months. some politics are fine, others arent? i did not run the web site like that. carol ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

This was discussed on the gimp-web mailing list. It should also be noted that last time we did this it was discussed on gimp-developer as well.
