What is going to happen to linux OS if the new EU's patent
regulations struggle is defeated for the benefit of giant corporations and
trusts exclusively?

It's time to awake from our ivory towers now!
Let's fight for freedom of (scientific) thought until European Parliament
has not passed the bill yet!

Hefty lobbying is on its the most bounteous track now
but the grassroots voice still can prevail if persists.
If we loose this battle Linux and GPL licence will remain the thing of the
"chaotic" past!
We will pay much more for much less and we'll be not allowed to
touch it

If the EU Parlament would accept the lay out of the Software Patent, then just
ignorte it, as it's not been approved in a legal manner thanks to all the
sneaky methods that Luxenburg did.

I wish so but the next stage would be to enFORCE the bill.

This is only now we can do something, the battle is now!
Afterwards we would be just outlaws and we'd fall within infameous global
"war on terrorism"

As the method how the Software Patent suggestion has got this far isn't a
legal method, you can still take it to EU court and they should decalre it as
illegal.

But of course, it's a lot easier if it's voted against in the parlament, but
you never know how the SP-zeliots will hide it, so people won't know that they
are voting about SP.

Fear us as we are Gentoo Rebels. We are fighting an insurgency against the
mighty Microsoft and we will prevail! Muhahhahhaa!

Problem is that 99% percent doesn't give a damn about "rebels" and let
the rulers give them any treatment that may seem fit.

I can't help but imagine a connection between the new software patent
legislation and the DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) efforts of
the entertainment monopolies. Both of them are about maximizing
corporate profits, and in the process, marginalizing the use of free
software. If this trend continues, it may one day even become illegal
to distribute software that isn't certified by Microsoft.

Anybody read Richard Stallman's "The Right to Read" lately?
