[Wikipedia-l] Fwd: Software Patents: Help Us Win in the Europarl!

[Alex R.]

I've looked over their site, They say that are 
"is dedicated to promoting computer users' right
 to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. "
That is perfectly acceptable. Promoting rights is not the same
thing as lobbying for the change of legislation.
Certainly if Wikipedia wanted to say a certain type of legislation
is a good thing (an endorcement) that is o.k., but lobbying
is strictly limited for tax exempt organizations).
