An ex-programmer, Ciarán O'Riordan has been campaigning against software
patents since mid-2003. He worked initially on the EU's software
patents directive, then on the Bilski case in the USA, and did some
recent work regarding legislative proposals in Australia, New Zealand,
and other parts of the world. All the while, he's been building the

campaigners. He is currently Executive Director of the
EndSoftwarePatents.org campaign.
