June 6th, 2006
Starnberg, Germany (June 06, 2006) — Florian Mueller, the founder of the NoSoftwarePatents.com campaign, has published his book, “No Lobbyists As Such - The War over Software Patents in the European Union”, on the Internet. Over 377 pages, Mueller tells the story of the legislative process that ended in July last year with a landslide vote of the European Parliament against a proposal for a software patent directive. The book is now available on the Internet for download
Released under a Creative Commons license Mueller explained in his blog that he wants “to get [this] book out to a large audience, especially since the next major war over software patents in Europe will officially break out on July 12 at a hearing to be held by the European Commission in Brussels. The same forces who supported the software patent directive we successfully fought against are now trying to achieve everything they wanted the last time, and even more, by means of the European Patent Litigation Agreement (EPLA).”
