The patent lobby tried to introduce software patents in Europe silently as well. Thanks to the FFII [ffii.org] there was enough noise to wake up politicians. Now we have additional support from sites like No Software Patents [nosoftwarepatents.com], but it took a lot of time to get this support.
Hopefully there is a chance to postpone the decision so the indian people and politicians can catch up on software patents. [ Reply to This ] "

From personal level i will request free software activists not to
restrict ourself to software patent. Software freedom is just one freedom an individual need.
