... and the need for a manual in the first place. Also, the
step-by-step issues, at every step, that an individual faces in filing
a patent application at the patent office was openly shared for people
to know.
I didn't have time to put the following in a CD and distribute at the meeting:

http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/TheDangerOfSWPatent2of2.ogg
http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/rms.danger.of.software.patents.pdf
But, anyone who will be attending the proposed meeting on 'software
patent issue', is welcome to use the above. If there is any artist
here who can make a nice CD label for the above, print it, and use it
on the above CDs, it will be helpful.
Thanks,
SK
