http://gumnut.sourceforge.net/ Good bit of innovative software from a brosef of mine. No patents. Uses distributed protocols (namely gnutella I think) to distribute consensus decision making and reaching processes. On 03/09/2010, at 7:16 AM, Ben Sturmfels wrote:
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?
