This Friday (14th of May) we organize a demonstration in front of the Ministére de l'Économie (Boulvard Royal) in Luxembourg City. It is very important that everyone comes at least for half an hour. There is no good excuse not to come. If Free Software, Open Source and Linux is not reason enough think of your jobs. In the US most of the SMEs involved in software development export their work to countries that do not have software patents just because they are scared of being sued. Do we want that in Europe ? WE are a power that is able to change things before this happens here. WE where able to get the parliament to vote for limiting amendments that will make pure software not patentable. With the council text there will be no OpenOffice, no Samba, no mplayer and no Linux any more. WE have to tell our government to support those amendments and to not let the council decide. This is a democracy and they have to be remembered of that. YOU can make it change by just spending a few hours to help.
