KDE.ie on Software Patents
==========================

   KDE Ireland [http://www.kde.ie/], the committees of the Irish Linux
Users' Group and the  Irish Free Software Organisation, on behalf of
their members, have sent [http://www.kde.ie/patents/] a  briefing
document [http://www.kde.ie/patents/briefing/] to all Irish MEPs to
explain the issues surrounding Software Patentability & EU Directive
COD/2002/0047 as we see them and to impress upon the MEPs the importance
of voting against this directive in its current form.

     Please feel free to contact me [barry.odonovan at kdemail.net] for any
more information or for pointers on how to correctly mount a similar
campaign in your own E.U. country.
