    UPDATED A prominent member of the European Parliament and
    representatives of a German political party are planning to lead an
    anti-software-patent protest Monday in Brussels during a scheduled
    legislative hearing on software patent issues. The protest, designed
to    call attention to Microsoft's corporate support of the Irish
presidency    of the European Union, will include the distribution of
CD-ROMs    containing free software to Irish diplomats as a reminder of
the    existence of alternative software products.
