I'm wondering why some big opensource websites that will be affected
by
software patents don't participate in the netstrike against them.
Personally, I will not work for this because the last "netstrike" hurt
free software developers (including myself) by removing some useful
information web sites from the net for weeks. Already this time, some
web sites have been removed. FFII should fix its wording and ask for
protests, not closures (and personally, I am surprised supporters of
the Foundation for a *FREE* Information Infrastructure only write
about "opensource" not free software).
If we close our website, ourselves and our users have already become
victims of software patents before they are introduced!
Further, you need to co-ordinate yourselves better. This is at least
the third email to debian I have seen. Because you used mostly the
same wording, I reply to you both as one.
