Francois Bayrou's photo Testimony for April's 10th birthday [3] in 2006.

During the parliamentary debates on software patents and the DADVSI bill, I have defended Free Software and I shall continue doing so. It is a very important issue, whether seen from an industrial, a national or a societal point of view. Free Software is an open, innovative and cooperative way of developing. It is an essential key towards independence and towards industrial and political balance for humankind. I have had the opportunity of seeing that April is always present when it comes to defending Free Software users and developers, and I have appreciated their capacity to analyze topics and mobilize people during the parliamentary debates. The April has permitted over the years for Free Software and its values to be taken into account by politicians.

— François Bayrou_,
member of the National Assembly, president of the centrist Modem [4] party (october 2006).
