Sign up now! - Against Software Patents in the Philippines

I just signed my name in agreement to the petition. Software innovation whether proprietary or open source will drive our country's IT infrastructure to new heights. By implementing software patents, it will deprive our brilliant Filipino developers from creating innovative softwares.

Stop software patents, promote free/open source technologies.

For some added information on the downside of implemeting software patents, check this site: FFII Logic Patents at Europe. The Software Patent Crisis article shows more about the horrors of software patents on a developer's everyday coding.

To know more about who's behind such idea on patenting software, visit the Software Patent Institute. That's weird, I thought IBM is a big fan of Linux.

It's time we act and protect the future of software development and innovation in the Philippines and the rest of the globe!
