That's quite bad. Any ideas which free software / open source group is going after this? I presume FSFe will. Any ideas? |

The last sentence of that article is clear :
Quoting:So now might be a good time to start making a noise about this and spreading the word just in case the EU *is* on the brink of making such an ill-advised move.... |

Yes, but the best people tomake noise about these are groups that have representatives/lobbyists in Brussles, like FSFe, NLNet, etcetera. |

Reminds me of Micro$uck$ EEE "embrace" of Open-ness. Put "Open" into as many things as it can, after all, the word "open" itself is not trademarked or anything. And has the EU already forgotten the whole OpenXML vs. ODF fiasco from several years back? How could I NOT be surprised if Micro$uck$ turns out to be one of the players behind the scenes in this re-definition of "Nearly Open". 2c |

I've heard EFF is also on top of this. Not to mention Henke's thread where he links to an article that says this is probably *not* a leaked 2.0 version of the document. |
