German parliament petition against software patents
On 19 April 2013, the German parliament (Bundestag) approved the sending of an anti-software-patents "petition" (draft motion) to three parliamentary committees. The three committees will debate this text and propose modifications before returning a final proposal which the parliament will vote on.Can you help? Is this correct?

- A. f. Wirtschaft und Technologie
- A. f. Bildung, Forschung und Technikfolgenabschätzung
- A. f. Kultur und Medien
What can we do?
