+          Protect Your Freedom to Write Programs
+          Join the League for Programming Freedom
+               (Version of January 15, 1991)
+
+Ten years ago, programmers were allowed to write programs using all
+the techniques they knew, and providing whatever features they felt
+were useful.  This is no longer the case.  The new monopolies,
+software patents and interface copyrights, have taken away our
+freedom of expression and our ability to do a good job.
+
+"Look and feel" lawsuits attempt to monopolize well-known command
+languages; some have succeeded.  Copyrights on command languages
+enforce gratuitous incompatibility, close opportunities for
+competition, and stifle incremental improvements.
+
+Software patents are even more dangerous; they make every design
+decision in the development of a program carry a risk of a lawsuit,
+with draconian pretrial seizure.  It is difficult and expensive to
+find out whether the techniques you consider using are patented; it is
+impossible to find out whether they will be patented in the future.
+
+The League for Programming Freedom is a grass-roots organization of
+professors, students, businessmen, programmers and users dedicated to
+bringing back the freedom to write programs.  The League is not
+opposed to the legal system that Congress intended--copyright on
+individual programs.  Our aim is to reverse the recent changes made by
+judges in response to special interests, often explicitly rejecting
+the public interest principles of the Constitution.
+
+The League works to abolish the new monopolies by publishing articles,
+talking with public officials, boycotting egregious offenders, and in
+the future may intervene in court cases.  On May 24, 1989, the League
+picketed Lotus headquarters on account of their lawsuits, and then
+again on August 2, 1990.  These marches stimulated widespread media
+coverage for the issue.  We welcome suggestions for other activities,
+as well as help in carrying them out.
+
+Membership dues in the League are $42 per year for programmers,
+managers and professionals; $10.50 for students; $21 for others.
+Please give more if you can.  The League's funds will be used for
+filing briefs; for printing handouts, buttons and signs; whatever will
+persuade the courts, the legislators, and the people.  You may not get
+anything personally for your dues--except for the freedom to write
+programs.  The League is a non-profit corporation, but not considered
+a tax-exempt charity.  However, for those self-employed in software,
+the dues can be a business expense.
+
+The League needs both activist members and members who only pay their
+dues.  We also greatly need additional corporate members; contact us
+for information.
+
+If you have any questions, please write to the League or phone
+(617) 243-4091.  Or send Internet mail to league@prep.ai.mit.edu.
