Hi, unfortunately the FFII and related organizations have been forced into some last minute actions to prevent the council from "silently" passing the EU Software Patent directive in the Agriculture and Fisheries Council on Tuesday next week. That would be one major step towards the legalization of Software Patents in Europe. Read more about it on the corresponding protest page:
http://demo.ffii.org In spite of the last minute call for protest, quite a large number of corporations, organizations, and individuals have decided to participate in a Web-Demo which may prove to be an important channel to make the press aware of the topic. It would be great if FVWM, an large and well known Free Software project, could participate in the demo, either by substituting the home page, or by putting a banner on web page(s). Links to banners can be found on the demo page mentioned above. Please also help spreading the word quickly, by contacting Free Software projects and other players in the software business. I need to get some sleep now. %-) Felix PS: I still have some more FVWM logo images lying on my hard disk that I haven't gotten around to finish up. If you want to include a banner or some such thing into FVWM 2.5, let me know, and I'll hurry up. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
