As you probably know ScriptumLibre (branch of Vrijschrift) is calling
for a boycott of Trend Micro.
I would like to ask you to spread the news and to support the action.

------
Take action
* Read about the Trend Micro's patent attack on ClamAV [1]
* Blog about, and encourage others to boycott Trend Micro
* Email lists, IT-decision makers, and potential supporters.
* Contact the media with our press release [2]
* Translate the press release [3]
* Joining the mailing list [4]
* Put banners on your site
The patent attack [1] on ClamAV by Trend Micro is simply unacceptable.
We must boycott Trend Micro, and we must act urgently and aggressively.
A final note: software patent attacks are a problem for both copyleft
and copyright developers so please make this boycott as wide as possible.
Thank you for helping!
