-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 March 9 2005 meeting with Jeannot Krecké and members of the lux. parliament. This is what we understood from the discussion: For Jeannot Krecké it is important that it is not the national courts that decide on whether patents are valid or not. He thinks it is important to have a directive. He is for limiting software patents to real technical inventions. The definitions using "forces of nature" is fine with him. He supports the interoperability amendment proposed by Luxembourg (6a). His reason for pushing for an A-item, after previous discussion with the other ministers before the conference, is that by taking the text back to B-item it would never have been possible to get a political agreement on this subject again. The only solution he saw to get a directive at all was to let it move through the council and try to strive to get better amendments in the second reading at the European Parliament and at the council. He is convinced that this is indeed possible thanks to the annotations of the different countries that have been attached the text to the EP and that he talked to Rocard about it. - -- Thierry Coutelier Président LiLux asbl 7, Rue Jacques Sturm L-2556 Luxembourg Office:+352 710725 608 Home:+352 406776 http://www.lilux.lu/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCMFKkPOfrcNNQX7oRAn9dAJ0ULRLlJfarVJnSMWUovcenFV475gCcDn5Y CcmcJ/ZOpWutZgEATBVPPXQ= =+wvr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Maybe the Linux kernel can be considered as a "good dictatorship" according to the way it is managed. However I think it is a quite different "dictatorship" than Microsoft's: do you think the developpers of the Linux kernel could force down our throat something like the project "Palladium"? I bet there would be a fork before the end of the day it is announced :-P ___[ Pub ]____________________________________________________________ Envie de discuter gratuitement avec vos amis ?
