Aha, our protest is working properly, then.  We are shutting down
websites to draw attention to what could happen if the EU allows
software patents. Too bad you don't have an EU government official
to write to, saying that you don't want software to be patentable....

You are still welcome to come by and write some for us to ship to
our officials, of course... :-)
