[Fsfe-ie] Europarl to press ahead quickly with swpat decision: vote on June 30th

[Justin Mason]

Hi FSF-IE!  If you haven't been following this, it looks like software
patents will soon be legalised in Europe thanks to some pro-patent
lobbying -- the plenary debate is to take place on June 30th.  I would
suggest lobbying our MEPs quickly before this takes place.
