Hi there, Have just had mail about Software patents from ffii.org.uk and http://noepatents.org The EU Patent Office looks like it's trying to get this item pushed through regardless. The result will be that many software developers and users will be dramatically affected by this legislation !. This magazine could also be affected by distributing code !. It is best to read the full details from the site. You are all asked as a matter of urgency to email/Fax, write to your MP and MEP about your concerns. You can use www.FaxYourMP.com Rgds
