Hey Johnny B Goode,

.....a little too much Green Day lately? Maybe if someone over there besides Blair could stand up and be a world class leader, Stallman could write about something else.....

Just what Europe needs, another American idiot telling us how to run things.

Mr. Stallman, fix your own government before you start telling us how to run ours.

I think that the EU has bigger concerns right now than adjudicating Stallman versus patents...

Software Patents: "Programmers and Consumers Should Gather Forces," Says Richard Stallman
The defeat of the EU software patenting directive, writes Richard Stallman, only provides a breathing space, in which programmers and consumers should gather forces. This battle has implications far beyond the software field. Our years-long fight has shown how undemocratic the EU is. It is a system in which bureaucrats can make decisions that, practically speaking, the public can never reverse.
