Florian Mueller lobbied against software patents in 2004 and 2005 in Europe during the EU software patents directive. He built the well-known campaign site NoSoftwarePatents.org (which he later handed to FFII). Mueller's anti-swpat lobbying work earned him various awards.[reference needed]


After the directive was cancelled, Mueller published his account of the overall campaign in the book No Lobbyists As Such.

In 2010, Mueller returned with a blog, "FOSS Patents", discussing software patents (plus other subjects which don't concern ESP Wiki).

Mueller posts regularly (username FlorianMueller) to community forums such as Slashdot[1] and LWN.net.
