Re: [Fsfe-uk] More anti-swpat resources

[Bernhard Kaindl]

Hi James,

   sorry for not talking about it earler.

For all:

I've starting from an earlyer post with anti-swpat resources, I've
continuously extended a page which some general resources here:

http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/PatentInformationLeafletsLinks

I think most of the mail from James here could be added there also
to cumulate a resource where you find everying by category.

I've put some explicatory texts below this page:

        http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/PatentExperts

And I've put Quotes here:

        http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/QuotesAgainstSWpatents

Feel free to extend this wiki yourself! (You are welcome!)

Bernhard

PS: You can always find the most recent changes here(if not marked minor):
