[ossig] Ops Tulen?

[cdemarco@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all... sorry for the cross-post.

We got a letter warning that Ops Tulen  would be starting up soon, and
although  we're  confident  that  the   small fraction  of  non-F?L?OS
software which we use is in fact  legal, the recent incidences of *BSD
seizure bothers me.    What would we  do  in the event  that  somebody
challenges  our e.g. burned copies of  RH9?  Are  there any lawyers in
Malaysia who would   be competent  in  our  defense?  

To the end of  educating both the  police and the users, perhaps APDIP
might do  well to make  a public statement both  the police  about how
licensing issues affect FLOSS.  Any plans, Khairil?

And of course, those   of  us in a   position to  do so  can  probably
generate quite  a bit of   publicity and/or  sales with  a  well-timed
migration to OOo.
