Hi Folks, ComputerWorldUK have an article describing the resurrection of the European Software Patents issue:

There is a link therein to a petition, which you may wish to consider signing.
Best wishes to all, Ted.

I read this when it was first sent, and took the "yet another patent petition" view and didn't bother following it.
Of-course that's what they're counting on - just because we've won the argument doesn't mean we can't stop winning it. So I have just signed up, and I'm writing this to urge anyone else who likewise skipped it having signed countless others before it to reconsider.

Agreed. Done.

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
