10/10 I don't know how aware you guys are about the SSSCA but it's a
bill that must be opposed at all cost. I encourage you to write
a response to the redhat network who are actually collecting
email from people and sending it to the congressman who is
proposing this draft. I hope that you too will become involved
in the campaign against the bill and that you make all your
family members, co-workers and friends aware of what's going on.
This is a very serious issue that will affect how you live your
life. For the link check out:

(YES THIS APPLIES TO FREEBSD TOO.)
\_ I'm so sick of hearing how *everything* must be opposed "at all
costs". I would not put down my life over this. Would you?
\_ no, write a paper letter to your Congresman, not email to RedHat.
\_ sure that works even better. I merely provide the link for
the more laconic people. But, by all means, write/fax your
congressperson.
\_ Is the SSSCA that no distro'ing software publically thing?
It sounds pretty bad, but even if its passed, it can't stop
freenet et. al.
\_ Althought the republocrats are all the same, My old self is
demanding that i point out that this bill was introduced by
a democrat.
\_ An Alaska Republican is lined up to co-sponsor the thing. He
is just waiting until he agrees with the language.
\_ and this is relevant, how? Seriously, dem, rep, it doesn't
matter. it's clue vs. non clue. have vs. have not.
\_ yeah. i think if you look at scientific and technology
issues in general, there are not really any party lines
to speak of. probably because your average voter(and
your average representative) do not understand or care about
most of these issues.
\_ compounded with the fact that they want to be like
Justice Hand and want to be in the history books as
the first person to legislate about something; so they
hurry thru the legislation creation process. |
