We should send a letter of thanks to the Hon'ble Member of the European 
Parliament, Mr. David Hammerstein,  on the FSF India letter head. Thanks 
are also due to Holger Blasum, Christian Beauprez, and all the others at 
ffii.org who made a big difference in strengthening the campaign. 
Richard Stallman relentlessly and forcefully campaigned against the 
change, travelled all through India in Feb 2005 speaking against the 
danger, and also meeting as many leaders as possible to avoid the 
disaster. There is no way we can thank  RMS except by assisting the 
campaign by FSF against "sofware patents", wherever it is practised.

Regards,
Ramanraj.
