I do wonder why kde-look.org has not done anything to take part in the online protest the way www.gimp.org and so many other sites have. ??

Frank just added a statement to the front page of kde-look.org.

To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it.

Is anyone here going? I'm attending all of the conferences and meetings as a UK representative, and I'm blowing up baloons 2 hours before the demo starts... it might be fun to meet anyone going ;)

 Consumer Action

from http://www.vitanova.dds.nl :

Consumer Boycot Nokia

Nokia is actively campaigning pro software patents in Europe, and spreading misinformation doing this.

Software patents are bad. They do not protect huge investments in research, they protect trivial ideas. The European Parliament reached a good compromise.

For consumers, software patents lead to higher prices, less choice. For (Open Source) developers, investors and users alike, software patents would mean legal uncertainty: a patent minefield. With the current flood of trivial patents legalized, software innovation would become a dangerous enterprise in Europe.
More info on software patents at FFII.

The Council of Ministers is pushing for unlimited patentability of software, heavily lobbied by patent lawyers. Here Nokia is very active, campaining pro software patents, and spreading http://swpat.ffii.org/news/04/cons0408/index.en.html misinformation doing so. Nokia's behavior is irresponsible. Do you want to buy products from a company that is untrustworthy? I would say no.

I call upon everyone around the world not to buy Nokia products.

You may copy this page.

Imagine many copies of this call for action against Nokia on the web. Nokia makes much more money selling phones than it can from software patents. Nokia is vulnerable: it needs to be hip. It is not hip. It needs to choose. Pro phones, against software patents.

For Nerds only: unite!
Nerds are often in an advising role. Advise against Nokia. Be proud. Use legal ways. And win. Don't let the dinosaurs win. Is this the information age, or not? Defend your freedom. After the Boston Tea party, the Brussels Tea party. Stand up. Make this a revenge of the nerds.

Nokia is out.
Spread the word.

I would like to ask how might such act affect people outside Europe?

I'm from Asia, you know. I have heard much about that patient thing, but yet I'm not quite sure about its influence.

Every open-source project in Asia that uses a "little part" of something that was developed in Europe under the "new" Software-patent-definitions (e.g. a new kernel or a patch or small programm like Knotes) can't be used in an Asian project due to patent laws. (Right?) Thus asian linux-distros would suffer, just like every other distro.I think there could be a domino-effect. One country/continent after another will impose those open-source-killing patent law which is really bad news.
