But, uh, guys... the People's Republic of China doesn't even respect the copyrights of major companies with big legal firms. Surely they won't give a more than a cursory damn at most about a bunch of copylefters. They may be Communists but they aren't Stallmanites. ;-)
If the U.S. government, by means of WTO, TRIPS, and other hard-core international economic agreements can't get the PRC to care too much IP piracy, I'm sure that we can't. I'm also fairly sure... it doesn't matter much.
