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.
I am so glad that someone has come up and mentioned this fact. The issue with medicine is far worse and affects far more people in a much more basic way.
I had blogged about it early this month (http://www.sandipb.net/blog/archives/2004/12/02/brazil-to-break-drug- patents/) inspired by the actions of a country ( Brazil) which cares more for its citizens than our country does.
Tehelka had also covered this story a few weeks back.
