Hi Folks,
Thank for your overwhelming support of our patents letter!

We're now taking the next step of preparing a petition that can be
presented to the Federal House of Reps. This has requirements of being
on paper and with original signatures. I'll look forward to collecting
your signature some time soon.

I'm looking for examples of innovative Australian software (developed
without patents), preferably earlier than 1992. The earlier the better.

So far I have:
 - Trumpet Winsock (internet connection tool, 1993)
 - HotDog Pro (web page editor, 1995)
 - rsync (data syncronisation tool, 1996)
 - netfilter/iptables (firewall tools, 1998)

What others can you think of?

Cheers,
Ben
