James sez, "In the coming European Parliament Elections voters have a chance to influence the wider use and the development of free software across Europe by lobbying potential candidates. Already about 90 MEP candidates are supporting this."
The Free Software Pact is a simple document with which candidates can inform the voting public that they favor the development and use of Free Software, and will protect it from possible threatening EU legislation. The Free Software Pact is also a tool for citizens who value Free Software to educate candidates about the importance of Free Software and why they should, if elected, protect the European Free Software community.
