I received this via an anonymous contributor -- http://taint.org/2005/06/17/224050a.html :
'I just received this letter and these pre-addressed postcards in the post this morning. I was surprised when I saw the envelope, because I'd never received anything from the BSA before. It turned out that they had extracted my name and address from the European Patents database, because I registered a software patent once. So a lot of these letters have been probably been sent out.
According to the letter, from Francisco Mingorance, the draft directive is being turned around to 'rob small businesses of their intellectual property assets'. '
more on the site, including images of the postcards. please forward anywhere you think appropriate... clearly this "push" needs to be opposed.
