If the _use_ of software is affected, and it is,
then this is user issue.  Education is the issue,
we are educating users to the loss of rights.

Eugene Unix Gnu/Linux User Group

The Unix Gnu/ part was added to be more

Calm down... We've created a list for future
discussion.

In the future, a _pointer_ to the list and a
summary of topics posted there _is_ ok.  So
posting a notice that discussion on a protest in
