Yeow, no kidding :-(

There's a slashdot story about this, maybe where you saw the article,  
but relevant to some degree anyway:

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/09/ 
0211225&mode=thread&tid=99

Didn't the UK go through something like this ~6 months back, but  
because of the reactions of (mostly) the OSS community, it didn't go  
through? (maybe it's a different issue, in which case, sorry - I didn't  
follow it very closely)  Surely this means there's relevant material  
(literature, etc) produced that we can use?

People need to be educated what this really means in real terms.
