Over on http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/docs/041123(EN)PRac.pdf, the
"three most famous European open-source software developers" urge the EU
not to adopt a draft directive on software patents.

These people being Linus Torvalds (Linux), Michael Widenius (MySQL) and
Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP).

Well-known companies such as Red Hat and MySQL are backing this initiative.
