Hi Folks! (Sorry for the cross post)

Tomorrow starts the second netwide demonstration against software patents. (http://swpat.ffii.org/index.en.html)

I'd like to replace the index page at http://grx.gnu.de and http://www.gnu-pascal.%7Bde,org%7D with a page similar to http://www.gnu.org.

This time, the page should last until 24th of september.

Any objections?

It would be nice, if you could contribute with your own pages.

Do you have any ethical objections that I patent my initials, TM, and sue everybody who uses them on their products for royalty?

You're confusing patens with trademarks I think. (Which is not to say that also trademarks can't be abused in unethical ways -- if interested, search for "Gravenreuth" and/or "Mobilix". You'll probably find a lot, mostly in German, but probably also things in English.)
