Subject:  [VOICENWS] Net: UK Software patent petition

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Zoë Butler <zoebutlerDESPAM at DESPAMtiscali.co.uk>

There is an online petition to the British Prime Minister asking to make 
all software patents unenforcible - 
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/softwarepatents/  Though only tangentially 
related to OS/2 and eComStation there was an editorial in the VOICE 
Newsletter several months ago on this topic - 
http://www.os2voice.org/vnl/past_issues/VNL0406H/feature_1.html  According 
to the petition web page "You must be a British citizen or resident to sign 
the petition."
