Stop Software Patents European Petition

This text was written before the European Parliament rejected the proposed software patent directive on 6 July 2005 and may be outdated. We will soon update it.

Thanks

The manager of this campaign would like to express his gratitude to all those who have helped, are helping, and will contribute to this campaign.
Thanks to the partners who sponsor this campaign. By supporting NoSoftwarePatents, they help prevent a political mistake of historic proportions.

Thanks to all those who reviewed the texts on this website and provided valuable feedback. Constructive criticism is so important.

Thanks to Florian Müller. He initiated and led this campaign for a long time. While he was manager of this campaign, it made an important contribution to the demise of the software patent directive.
