Petitie: software patenten bedreigen e-learning

Goede actie van Flosse Posse: een online petitie tegen plannen van de Europese Commissie om in feite patenten op software binnen de EU in te voeren. Teken vóór 31 maart a.s! en vermeld het in je weblog.

This petition aims to alert European authorities and policy-makers to the dangers of software patents, and particularly to the negative impact they will have on education. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to support and enhance teaching and learning, including e-learning, is now recognised as a key element in providing education which meets the needs and abilities of students, and prepares Europe to participate creatively, technologically and economically on a global level.

This petition is directed to the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Council and all National policy makers – people in a position to address the threat of software patents and ensure that we offer the best possible education to our citizens.
