Some people may be interested in reading this http://petition.eurolinux.org/index_html or even signing the petition, I have.

Yup... And if you're from Europe you might want to show up.

I would have liked to have gone but I only just found out about it and at such short notice I won't make it, hopefully though a lot of people will turn out, they seem to have quite a few people that have signed the petition, whether that will do any good though I don't know. Hopefully some people from here that are from Europe might sign it or help spread the message further.

Huh? Forgive my ignorance, but isn't software patented already? Or am I thinking of a copyright?
