I met with two of my MEPs (East of England) during the run up to the previous parliamentary vote. Richard Howitt (Labour) was convinced to oppose software patents by a group in which I tagged along. Andrew Duff (Lib Dem) seemed to argue in favour of software patents when we met during a by-election campaign but nevertheless came out in support of the Rocard amendments (maybe someone else argued better than I did).
