Florian Mueller has dedicated much of his recent life to the minutiae of
European legislative process. With help from a host of others, he
successfully fought software patents in Europe. Today he's announcing
that he's written a book about the experience, delving deep into
European government and legislative process, and delivering a unique and
entertaining insight into the fusion of lobbying, open source software,
and activism that defined the patent battle of Europe.
