Revision as of 14:50, 12 June 2013 by Ciaran (talk | contribs) (→External links: * {{lang de}} [http://dip.bundestag.de/btd/17/130/1713086.pdf Government doc] ** [http://l.fsfe.org/bikt-swpat-en.pdf English translation by BIKT] ** [https://fsfe.org/news/2013/news-20130612-01.en.html German Parliament tells governm)
On 19 April 2013, the German parliament (the 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? Help from German-speakers sought to expand the details and check the terminology
The vote to send the text to the committees was approved by a large majority, including the governing parties. The "Rechtsausschuss (f)" is leading in coordination with:
- A. f. Wirtschaft und Technologie
- A. f. Bildung, Forschung und Technikfolgenabschätzung
- A. f. Kultur und Medien
What can we do?
- Ask Germans to contact members of those committees to support the proposed text?
