APACHE遇到麻烦了！！！

[javaboy]

On September 1st the European Commission is going to vote a revised version of the European Patentability rules. The proposed revision contains a set of serious challenges to Open Source development since regulation regarding software patents will be broadly extended and might forbid independent development of innovative (Open Source and not) software-based solutions.

The European Open Source community is very concerned about the upcoming new regulation and has organized a demo protest for August 27, asking Open Source supporting sites to change their home pages to let everyone know what is going on at the European Parliament. The Apache Software Foundation has decided to support this initiative, and this is why you are seeing this page.

这算是麻烦吗?

大意是：
9月1日，European Commission将投票表决修订欧洲专利法。由于规则认为软件专利将进一步扩展，开源的发展要受限制，被提议的包括一系列将对开源发展造成严峻挑战的修改条款。

欧洲开源组织非常关注此事并于8.27组织了一个示威抗议，号召所有开源支持站点更改他们的主页，让所有人知道European Parliament在做什么。APACHE软件基金会决定支持这个行动，这是你看到这个页面的原因。
