End Software Patents

End Software Patents (ESP) is an international campaign of the Free Software Foundation for a legislative ban on software patents in all jurisdictions. We believe that software patents constitute a threat to developer freedom. To learn more, check the ESP FAQ and blog.

Lemmy community

This community is dedicated to the discussion of software patents. Here you can post anything that is related to software patents. Opposing views are welcome, but only to the extent that they encourage healthy debate. ESP advocates for the total (not partial) elimination of software patents.

If you are familiar with software patents and would like to moderate an excellent database of campaign material against software patents, please respond below. This post will be pinned until ESP Wiki is sufficiently moderated.

ESP Wiki was created in 2008 as the main resource for activists, programmers, lawyers, and policy makers with the goal of abolishing software patents. In the past, it has worked as a community forum for FSF's amicus briefs to courts and has been cited by legal journals and articles. Lately it has gotten some serious updates: a new logo, a modernized theme, better categorization, brand-new custom wiki templates, etc.

It is not required to have a legal background, but you should be at least comfortable with reading legal information. You should also have a general understanding of basic legal procedure around patent law. But even if you don't know much, this is a great opportunity to learn some interesting details about this topic.

Do not hesitate to contact me at any point; this post will be up for a while.

You can read more about the End Software Patents campaign in the community's description.

Hey, I would have loved to be a part of this, but right now, I'm going through some tough times.
