Patents in America
At risk of generalisation or exclusion (the EFF is working overseas as well), here is a presentation which speaks about eliminating poor patents in America. This talk is part of Google's TechTalks.
Danny O'Brien is the Activism Coordinator for the EFF. His job is to help EFF's membership in making their voice heard: in government and regulatory circles, in the marketplace, and with the wider public. Jason Schultz
Jason Schultz is a Staff Attorney specializing in intellectual property and reverse engineering. He currently leads EFF's Patent Busting Project. Prior to joining EFF, Schultz worked at the law firm of Fish & Richardson P.C., where he spent most of his time invalidating software patents and defending open source developers in law suits.

Can Dr. Stallman persuade key decision makers to adopt not only "Linux" but also Software Freedom (not the same thing), as he did in South American before? Or like he did in Kerala?
