An open letter from Alan CoxAn open letter from Alan CoxPosted May 31, 2004 15:21 UTC (Mon) by gedeon (guest, #21965)Parent article: An open letter from Alan Cox What I'd like to know is which parties are opposed to software patents in my country. Is there a list somewhere with such information for each country? I personnally live in Belgium but a list for all EU countries would be quite usefull, I guess.

Some candidate positions for Finland Posted Jun 2, 2004 7:40 UTC (Wed) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] What I'd like to know is which parties are opposed to software patents in my country.In Finland, see EFFI's "vaalikone" (an opinion matching application) at http://www.effi.org/julkaisut/muut/eu-vaalikone-2004.html (in Finnish). Includes positions from MEP candidates (unfortunately not all of them) on SW patents, copy protection legislation and privacy issues. In addition to yes/no positions, informal comments were also solicited form the candidates, although many did not give them. Based on these, some MEP candidates are obviously out of touch with the issue, eg. one clearly confused "software patents" with "software packages". Many others fortunately gave indications of knowing what this is about. The page helped at least me confirm my choice.
