Holas gente!

Parecía que todo andaba un poco parado, pero no... El lunes día 1 de
Septiembre se realizará en Bruselas la votación para *aprobar* la Ley de
Patentes del Software, que no servirá más que para que las grandes
compañías puedan patentar ideas que deberían de ser de dominio público.

Si alguno podeis colaborar, este es el momento, porque en breves días
nos van a colar otra como la de la LSSI...

   The European Parliament is voting on September 1st on a proposal
   which, while pretending to aim at restricting patentability, in
   reality ensures that algorithms and business methods like Amazon One
   Click Shopping indisputably become patentable inventions (and
   indisputably pass the bogus requirement of "technical contribution in
   the inventive step").

   As past experience shows, it is possible for powerful lobbies to push
   incredibly bad directives through the European Parliament. But it is
   also possible to have them rejected. Everything depends on how well
   we use last week of August.
