[Fsfe-ie] Invitations - software patents leaflet

[adam beecher]

Hi Cathal,

Just a small little thing, but just said I'd mention that, imho, it's better
to use 'www.ifso.ie' instead of 'http://ifso.ie' in material intended for
print. Norms are more used to seeing the 'www', and it's quite likely that
'http://' will even confuse a number of them.
