As a whole, the position is about creating a decentral and balanced system and avoiding uncontrollable transnational bureaucracies. I wonder if the Logical Language Group would like to support the whole position paper by being mentioned among the signatories, see list. In any case you may wish to help spread the word to Euro MPs. A group of them seems ready to support the whole position. Publication is imminent, because the subject is hot these days. -- Hartmut Pilch http://phm.ffii.org/ Protecting Innovation against Patent Inflation http://swpat.ffii.org/ 95000 signatures against software patents http://www.noepatents.org/
