The implication for over a decade of April in the promotion and defense of Free Software, on ethical, philosophical, political and economic grounds, make it a mature player. As such, April better understands the intrinsic nature of software, its implications for the building of an "information society" and the dangers to the free development of the latter. I have been able to find in the full-time employees, the members of April's board and the members of April, through their enthusiasm and unparalleled expertise, the most effective framework for ensuring that patenting does not hamper the expansion of computing in France.
