Don’t allow software patents to threaten technology enhanced learning in Europe!

Don’t allow software patents to threaten technology enhanced learning in Europe!: “As we believe that European software patents is a serious threat to the use of ICT for learning as well as to the right to free access to information and knowledge, we have written a petition at FLOSSE Posse.

This petition aims to alert European authorities and policy-makers to the dangers of software patents, and particularly to the negative impact they will have on education. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to support and enhance teaching and learning, including e-learning, is now recognised as a key element in providing education which meets the needs and abilities of students, and prepares Europe to participate creatively, technologically and economically on a global level.
