fta -- Linux Australia vs Free Trade Agreement
About fta	English (USA)
We have been far too quiet. The FTA IP provisions make bad laws worse, and lock us in to them. For example, distributing or writing (Open Source) DVD players under Linux is already illegal: the FTA, using them is illegal too. See The Linux Australia FTA Page.
