Yes, I read the original document and saw that there is nothing in<br>
there, just a bunch of stuff about IP against the aforementioned<br>
countries. However, the Guardian article<br>
( <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/feb/23/opensource-intellectual-property" target="_blank">http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/feb/23/opensource-intellectual-property</a> ) which is also linked which is a respected newspaper in the UK did post that the same group that lobby's the US government to put countries on that list.<br>
<br>
The reason I posted it is that if you work and make a living off Open<br>
Source you should be aware the American IP lobby groups are out to<br>
destroy your bread and butter.<br>
<br>
If you don't care, that's fine; but the people should know and lobby<br>
against this behaviour because their livelihoods depend on it.<br>
<br>
I am a Canadian and I find this behaviour highly offensive! Especially<br>
with the type of draconian legislation American IP groups are attempting<br>
to push on our country!<br>
