Hoi, When the EU develops a law that deals with copyright and licensing, it will implicitly include "Free" licenses. It is exactly for this reason that communities like ours who have at least an idea of what we consider to be the right way forward are asked to step on the plate. When we, as a community, do not engage in this request for comments, it is our own damn fault when the result is not to our liking.
This green paper PROVES that they are actively involved in this area. Thanks, GerardM

Agree.
And perhaps other organizations working with copy left licenses could be informed?
There is nothing in there of any real significance to free licenses.
Isn't that something that should be fed back to them, with a question of why this is?
The last thing we want are the EU making any laws with relation to free licenses. Their approach to copyright is damaging enough without their active involvement in that area. -- geni
