It probably wouldn't hurt the drive against SW patents if thousands signed this
Thanks for the link

NIce of the polish I somehow felt they weren't going to be bullied Since they are absolute advocates of open source They make one the nicest and hardest! Linux distro http://www.pld-linux.org and they constantly submit these same fined tuned rpms to rpmseek http://www.rpmseek.com

now i have a (silly) theory all countries that have at least one Linux distro voted or acted against patents: Spain, France, Germany, Poland whereas those that don't either abstained or voted for: Ireland, England, Austria, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Belgium, Portugal

I haven't checked thoroughly but am curious to know if my theory does hold. Will check/verify/research later.
