[Foundation-l] European Commission Green Paper - Copyright in the Knowledge Economy

[Gerard Meijssen]

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
