Hi all,

I got an email from Ben Sturmfels from Software Freedom Labs, an Australian
FOSS company.  If you're interested in reducing the effect that software
patents have on the IT industry, then I'd encourage you to sign the petition.

Have fun,

Paul

Hi,
I've written a letter to the Senator Kim Carr calling for software
patents to be abolished due to the harm they cause the software industry
and society. I think this is particularly relevant to your LUG members
who are involved in the software industry. Would you mind letting your
members know?

The letter:

Cheers,
Ben
