EDRI-member Electronic Frontier Finland collected 2295 signatures in one week on its online petition against software patents. The petition was presented to the Finnish parliament on 14 November.

Ville Oksanen, vice chairman of EFFI, who acted as the head of the delegation comments:"We were received by MPs from every major parliamentary group, which was a great success considering that the topic of the petition was relatively obscure. The feedback from the MPs was also very promising. They are going to follow the process closely and EFFI will be invited to parliamentary hearings. The letter from Linus Torvalds was also well known and one group (Swedish minority party) even pledged to support his position."
