Closed because of "Software-Patents"

えええええ!マジマジマジつかぁっ!どうなるMRTG?っていうか、今無くなるととてーも困るんですけどねえ。

On September 22nd, 2003 the European Parliament will decide about the legalisation and adoption of so-called "software patents" in Europe. Software Patents are already used by large companies in other countries (like the US) to put competitors out of business. This can lead to the termination of many software projects such as MRTG, at least within Europe.

うげー。日本で引き継いで開発しちゃうか*1

*1:オープンソースを誤解(笑)してる役所とかに持ち込むか?
