[交流] 有關apache首頁...

今天上了apache網站，
看到了一些英文描述，不過不是看的很懂....@@

Important notice
On September 1st the European Commission is going to vote a revised version of the European Patentability rules. The proposed revision contains a set of serious challenges to Open Source development since regulation regarding software patents will be broadly extended and might forbid independent development of innovative (Open Source and not) software-based solutions.  
  
The European Open Source community is very concerned about the upcoming new regulation and has organized a demo protest for August 27, asking Open Source supporting sites to change their home pages to let everyone know what is going on at the European Parliament. The Apache Software Foundation has decided to support this initiative, and this is why you are seeing this page.  
  
For further information please see http://swpat.ffii.org and http://petition.eurolinux.org. You will be redirected automatically to the Apache homepage in 60 seconds (or continue on to www.apache.org).

大意是說，歐盟打算在 9/1 表決通過一項新的專利法案，這個法案會對 Open Source 界帶來巨大的衝擊。因此，歐洲的 Open Source 社群將（已經過了..^^;;）在 8/27 舉行抗議活動；而 Apache Software Foundation 也聲援這次的活動，特別增設此頁，提醒大家注意。
  
（因為有幾個字不懂，所以也沒完全翻....:p）

註冊到專利權的 有權利控告未經授權的其他人...
如同 SCO 控告 IBM 侵權...
此法案會助長 像SCO那樣的人來加以利用
歐洲將會變成 Open Source 的終結地...
舉例如果 apache 用到的其中一部份程式碼被註冊 這時候就又會有新一波 類似 SCO vs IBM 的情況
Open Source 多是集體創作 來組成一個完整的軟體
但如果有人利用此法案惡搞 將會使得現行蠻多軟體 解體
過分的鉗制下將有礙 Open Source 未來的發展
你想到一個IDEA就去註冊起來後人就必須經過您的授權才能用
