The government of France is considering amending a proposed law so that it would prohibit much, or potentially all, free software.
Their vague wording leaves the exact scope of this unclear. See <http://www.boingboing.net/2005/12/02/france_about_to_get_.html> for further information. The prohibition of free software is an amendment to a larger bill that is unjust without it. Every one of the provisions described here is unjust---a sign that the government works for the media companies against the public.
