Hi Patrick,

I write this e-mail to ask, if the FSFE has some reccomandations about the questionary "Consultation on future patent policy in Europe":
http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/indprop/patent/consultation_en.htm
Is a request to fill out the questionary planed, should this questionary be used as a chance for european companies to communicate their disagreement to software patents?
Yes, this is a chance for everyone to communicate their feelings about software patents - and it should be used by everyone.
I will be writing a draft response for FSFE this week, and I'll do the drafting on this list.
If it can be a chance, should a request be send out to the companies, which already communicated their disagreement to software patents?
We shouldn't harvest that list, but we should probably contact people and companies that we have had previous contact with. It would probably be most useful to do this when we have some example replies to show them.
And my last question ( for now ;) ) Is there a site which will be an aggregator of all the sites and activities (ffii, nosoftwarepatents, ip-watch, blogs, ...) against software patents in europe?
I don't plan on making an aggregator site.
(and I agree with others that FFII's swpat news page is the best aggregator-like site.)
