Software patents: the banana republic methods of the pro-patent camp
Dear Supporters of NoSoftwarePatents.com,
For technical reasons, I am now writing you, just once, from a
Truth50.com email address. You are receiving this email because you
once registered yourself as a supporter of the NoSoftwarePatents.com
campaign.
First of all, I would like to thank tens of thousands of you for
your vote in the EV50 Europeans of the Year poll. In case you
haven't heard it yet, I received the "Campaigner of the Year" award,
which in 2002 went to Pope John Paul II and in 2003 to a president
of the European Parliament. In the Campaigner category, I received
more votes than U2 frontman Bono (the world's most successful live
musician in 2005) and Bob Geldof. Who would have thought that
software patent critics could beat rock stars in an Internet
election!
However, there are strong indications that I also received the most
votes for the European of the Year award. The organizers handed
that one to the prime minister of Luxembourg. You will understand
that, for legal reasons, I have to be very careful in commenting on
this. On http://www.truth50.com, you can read more about the
puzzling outcome of the EV50 poll, and if you also believe that the
organizers owe us an explanation as to what happened to our votes,
please sign the bundle of open letters.
I would also like to make you aware of http://www.NoBananaUnion.com
because precisely one year ago, on March 7, 2005, the Council of the
European Union adopted its common position on the software patent
directive against the will of several parliaments. I was in the
Council building in Brussels to follow the events, and it was
disgusting to see how some politicians were spitting in the face of
democracy. Fortunately, the European Parliament rejected that same
legislative text on July 6, but for a few months there was a high
risk of software patents becoming legal in Europe.
In closing, let me also make you aware of my new Web site and my
blog. On http://www.no-lobbyists-as-such.com you will soon find
some information concerning my forthcoming book "No Lobbyists As
Such - The War over Software Patents in the European Union". Kaj
Arnö, MySQL AB's Vice President of Community Relations, has already
read the manuscript and says: "When reading this you feel like
you're standing in a parliament and talking directly to the
politicians who made the decisions."
For the time being, the Web site does not provide details concerning
the book, but you can already find my new blog there:

On January 16, the European Commission launched a consultation on
patent policy. Many politicians are again trying to legalize
software patents in Europe, and in my blog I will comment on the
latest developments. Later this week, I will publish a position
paper in my blog that everyone can download and send to the European
Commission in reply to the questionnaire that the Commission
published in January.
Thank you for your continued support!
Best regards,
Florian Mueller
