If that's it, the law is completely useless, it

case it would be useful for WMUK to ask a committee or whatever to assist
the Secretary of State in the decision and to be appointed/heard in such
committee. Usually they only listen to publishers and sometimes librarians.
The reality is that the law is of no real interest to us since such works
can't end up under a free license.
