Currently, the big software companies are collecting thousands of patents, most of them of trivial and self evident content. Clearly, the aim is to push universities, small companies, free developers out market as soon as the European community decides that software and computer procedures can be patented. It could be the end of open source and free software. Neither me, nor my university have the means to defend against trivial software claims in court even if our success would be sure. Please support our fight against software patents.

I wish to express my gratitude to the following persons and institutions.
