Who should see Patent Absurdity in New Zealand
The software patent victory in NZ is crumbling. It was suggested that copies of Patent Absurdity should be mailed to key policy setters to remind them of why they previously decided to ban software patents.
Please add names to this list, preferably along with an affiliation or something to indicate why this person should be contacted, plus a work address. A name on its own is useful, but someone will have to dig up an address later if we're to be able to send them a DVD.
Remember, we're looking for their work address, please don't post anyone's home address here.
