Summary: "The Slave Coast" of France (birthplace of António Campinos, just like Benoît Battistelli in spite of the Portuguese- and Italian-sounding surnames) can possibly relate to what Team UPC is trying to do through the Francophonie/Germanic/Anglo-Saxon EPO, imposing European software patents on EU member states by bypassing their national courts (illegally!) and turning software developers into serfs, with sharecropping [1, 2, 3] like in Microsoft GitHub
To those of us (over 99.999% of people impacted by this) who do not work at the EPO the misuse of words like "products" (monopolies are not products) should be disturbing
Kuhn: I'd like to interject for a moment, we made an alliance with the Microsoft-dominated LF to outsource projects to Microsoft GitHub and rich people gave us money to do this
