Clarification by British PM's Office that "Software patents" are not enforceable in UK
by Ramanraj K 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page11077.asp <quote> We [The Prime Minister's Office, UK] received a petition asking: "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to make software patents clearly unenforcible." ... ... The Government remains committed to its policy that no patents should exist for inventions which make advances lying solely in the field of software. Although certain jurisdictions, such as the US, allow more liberal patenting of software-based inventions, these patents cannot be enforced in the UK. ... ... </quote>

Re: 'F' for Fedora; 'F' for Free (Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay)
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 27 Feb '07

> Which part is funny ? Michael being President of OSI or Michael as a Red > Hat Executive backing Fedora ? a. Nice to see a Red Hat (for that matter any company) executive talking and embracing 'Free Software' and not 'Open Source'. b. Funny to see the OSI president leaning towards the FSF's stance on software freedom and using the FSF backed terminology, and away from the OSI's. c. It is not about hatred. I could not help smiling at this at a time when the 'FSF is evil', 'RMS is a dictator', and 'non-free kernel modules make a good desktop distribution'. 'Funny' was the most decent word I could come up with at 04:30am. :-P Cheerio, Debarshi
