Hi Fae,
Unless you have better sources than I have, what you write isn't true.
the proposed text going
before the European Parliament is fixed (the lobbyists already lost),
Not true.
Simple deletion of the clause would be one option; but I understand
there is also a fair chance of a cross-party amendment. This is still
being scoped out, but it might eg harmonise FoP for buildings, extending
to public works of art at the discretion of member states, conditional
on rights of attribution, and respect for the architect/sculptor's moral
rights.
But at the very least, we need to get over the message to MEPs that this
clause is bad; and that "non-commercial" is not enough (and would have
nasty consequences).

Sorry to highlight this, but the PR message is misleading and could
confuse the general public. I think you mean to stay something like "3
weeks to stop the FoP in Europe bill".
There is no "good" FoP in Europe to save, and the proposed text going
before the European Parliament is fixed (the lobbyists already lost),
so there is no alternate text which could create a FoP in Europe. All
that can be fought for is to keep the current system, which is
probably a better outcome for open knowledge than the proposed
harmonization.
