Re: [Fsfe-uk] Software patent - any action?

[Chris Lale]

I have started writing letters. I decided not to write immediately about 
the patent issue because the politicians may not have a clear idea (or 
any idea) about free software. I decided to start a conversation about 
free software first. You can see the bare bones of my "software 
awareness letter" at
http://coolscience.co.uk/free-software/letters/letter-outlines.html . If 
these outlines are useful to anyone else, please use them.

I have sent emails to the MEP party leaders of Conservatives, Greens, 
Labour and LibDems. (The LibDems actually have a draft policy on open 
source software!) I have sent emails backed up with letters to all MEPs 
in the Eastern Region - see 
http://www.europarl.org.uk/uk_meps/MembersMain.htm

Cheers,

Chris.
