Dear All,

As you known, the EUCD (2001/29/CE) is a real threat for the four freedoms of Free Software and for Freedom in general.

So we (at ael) think the best way is to have a coherent action regarding and a coherent source of information (with cross-references) around the application of the EUCD in the different european countries.

So we have setup a small wiki page with status :

http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/EUCD-Status

So EVERYBODY can edit it and add his specific information about his respective country.

Thanks a lot.

adulau
