Alan Cox in open letter on EU Election
posted by mpawlo on Monday May 31, @07:22AM
from the patents-everywhere dept.
News Linux evangelist and Linus Torvalds' brother in arms, Allan Cox, urges everyone to participate in the upcoming election to the European Parliament.

'In about a week you get an opportunity to send the EU politicians a message they cannot ignore - but sadly only 18% of UK citizens will bother to do so. While most British people would like to ignore the EU, the simple fact is that it is the EU that passed the EUCD, it is the EU that can fight software patents and it is the EU that is currently working to create even more draconian "intellectual property rights" laws.'

    Now maybe we'll get less of the sanctimonious philosophy that led to the thefreeworld.net archive. Note to Alan: being European doesn't make one morally superior.
