FOUNDATION for a FREE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE


To fight against software patents is a priority for those who don't want an european legislation dictated by some industrial lobbies

The FFII is a volunteer network, and as such we don't have any hierarchy or any strict formal assignment of tasks to people. Thus, the short answer to "how you can help" is "anyway you like". But we do need your help, and here are some readings to get you started.

The #UPC recruits news judges for its "reserve list", particularly to try to solve issues of conflict of interest.

Happy to share a few thoughts on "UPC and impartility", forthcoming at @Ledizioni. Thanks @Lucdesaunettes and the Leuven team ! https://t.co/ii42VE5E3h

Double peine pour les petites entreprises du logiciel: non seulement la Cour UPC va valider les brevets logiciels avec le "en tant que tel" sans que la CJEU n'ait son mot à dire, mais en plus les frais de Cour sont 100X plus élevés, accès à la justice impossible #upc #swpat
