Software Patents OR "Community Patent Consultation"

[gordons1]

Hi there folks,
Pardon if you think this is the wrong place for this.
BUT
Just in case anyone has missed this item.
BUT
The EU Commission via Charlie McCreevy of Microsoft fame !, has brought this consultation about which ends 31st March 2006 !!!.

This is all about "Software Patents" by the back door if this goes through then it appears there will be no further opportunities to block/change as this way it cuts through discussion by "EU Parliament etc".
More info at http://consultation.ffii.org/

Please reply to the consultation it will affect us all, thanks.
Deadline is 31st March 2006.
Rgds Gordon.
