[Fsfe-ie] Fwd: Constultation on IPR and Patents

[Malcolm Tyrrell]

Hi all. 

IFSO received this yesterday from the European Information Centre
in Cork. As requested, I'm passing it on.

Apologies for sending an attachment in a proprietary format.
I've confirmed that Abiword can open it. I suspect that other
free word processors probably can too.

Good luck,

Malcolm.
