FFII About To Conquer The New World.

It looks as if

FFII e.V. is about to start a crusade

to proselytise the masses in the United States in their fight against patents on computer-implemented inventions aka software patents:

"[...] Why is US patent reform the answer to the problems which are dealt with, which manifested in the multimillion Microsoft-Novell deal? The answer is simple: Andreas Jaeger has suggestions for reform but the debate in the USA does not take off. As long as companies defend themselves with patent deals and patent portfolios, or waste their time on discussions about prior art searches, everything remains lost.

However, there is chance for substantial reform. Interested US citizens can take the European lesson and become founding fathers of FFII USA. At least a mailing lists exists for the sleeping nation which handed over software liberty to patent agents. [...]"

I guess that it will be a tough challenge for FFII to gain substantial political support throughout the U.S.
