[ILUG] Enda Kenny and Patents

[Richard Eibrand]

Hi Guys,

I received a reply from Enda Kenny (Fine Gael Leader) the other day in  
reference to a mail I had sent to him months back regarding the software  
patents issue. The contents of his mail are included below. I have looked  
at the IFSO pages http://ifso.ie/projects/swpats.html and reckon they are  
as good a starting point as any, especially  
http://ifso.ie/projects/swpats.html#why . I wanted to have a look through  
the mailing archives this morning, but I am unable to access to the site,  
is it down for maintenance?

Anyway, what I am wondering, would someone who is better versed on the  
matter than I, care to reply on an ILUG front, Paul our PRO perhaps? I  
will send him reply anyway, quoting the IFSO website pages, so that he can  
have a read of that, but it might be nice to a direct ILUG response as  
well.

All the best,

Richard

Dear Richard

Thank you for your e-mail which I received sometime ago.     Obviously, I  
am not
an expert  in this field and I would need some greater detail from you  
expressed
in layman's terms.    Please feel free to make such information available  
to me
by e-mail or by direct contact.    I would be happy to take the matter up  
if
circumstances have changed or require this to be done.
