One more echo from here. Our position should be clear that we are not neutral when anyone tries to make it harder for communitymembers assert what our purpose for existing is. Strongly supporting copyright protections that make it possible to be copyleft, are a strong part of that. IP-protections that *enable* rather than hinder that, are a very good indeed. And vice versa. We can only assert copyleft if copyright is correctly followed. And if copyright is draconically asserted, our ability to protect our copyleft is harmed just as much, if not more.
Just voted on the issues, so if any one is curious...
