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.
