« We've had a copyright-like protection of databases (collections of facts) for nearly ten years now, and the EU Commission has just published a study of the impact of this directive on the "database industry". Somewhat to their displeasure, it seems, the study has shown that the database industry hasn't grown (in fact, it shrunk), and there isn't an economic justification for the directive. They did, however, survey the industry to see what the industry thought of it, and people who make databases apparently like the directive. "So that's alright, then" :) » --- Benoît Sibaud _______________________________________________ Liste de discussion FSF France. http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-france
