                                      Hi there folks,&lt;br /&gt;
Pardon if you think this is the wrong place for this.&lt;br /&gt;
BUT&lt;br /&gt;
Just in case anyone has missed this item.&lt;br /&gt;
BUT&lt;br /&gt;
The EU Commission via Charlie McCreevy of Microsoft fame !, has brought this consultation about which ends 31st March 2006 !!!.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is all about &quot;Software Patents&quot; by the back door if this goes through then it appears there will be no further opportunities to block/change as this way it cuts through discussion by &quot;EU Parliament etc&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
More info at &lt;a href=&quot;http://consultation.ffii.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://consultation.ffii.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Please reply to the consultation it will affect us all, thanks.&lt;br /&gt;
Deadline is 31st March 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
Rgds Gordon.</description>
