As you probably know ScriptumLibre (branch of Vrijschrift) is calling for a boycott of Trend Micro.
I would like to ask you to spread the news and to support the action.
http://www.scriptumlibre.org/Call_for_IT_Professionals says: ------ Take action
* Read about the Trend Micro's patent attack on ClamAV [1] * Blog about, and encourage others to boycott Trend Micro * Email lists, IT-decision makers, and potential supporters. * Contact the media with our press release [2] * Translate the press release [3] * Joining the mailing list [4] * Put banners on your site
The patent attack [1] on ClamAV by Trend Micro is simply unacceptable. We must boycott Trend Micro, and we must act urgently and aggressively.
A final note: software patent attacks are a problem for both copyleft and copyright developers so please make this boycott as wide as possible.
Thank you for helping!
