FSF announces EndSoftwarePatents.org phase II

The Free Software Foundation has announced funding for a new phase of the End Software Patents project. To that end, it is creating a catalog of studies, arguments, and legal analyses for use by those seeking to kill software patents. "For this new phase of End Software Patents work, the FSF has engaged veteran anti-software-patent lobbyist Ciaran O'Riordan, taking over from Ben Klemens as director of ESP. O'Riordan brings years of experience campaigning against software patents in the EU. This knowledge, combined with what was learned during the Bilski work, will form the starting point for a global information resource and campaign. The goal is make it easy for activists around the world to benefit from existing knowledge, often scattered and sometimes disappearing with time." Click below for the full announcement.
