EU Council agitates for unlimited software patents Posted Feb 25, 2004 13:22 UTC (Wed) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] Yes, the Green party isn't the only one with good policies on FLOSS. Parties and their policies vary considerably from country to country,And for canditate to candidate. It is a bit of a problem for me that the Finnish MEP who has been most active against software patents is Pia-Noora Kauppi ( example of her excellent activities) who belongs to our equivalent of the conservative party, which I normally do not vote for. I might vote for ms. Kauppi, but if she does not make it, my vote ends up benefiting some other conservative, who very possibly could have pro-patent sentiments....

Perhaps sending her an email could lead to the party adopting anofficial stance on patents? Here (New Zealand) the system is quite different and you vote both for a party, and and a MP. The MP vote is almost irrelevant, though in your case it would be useful.
