Come back on the DADVSI
DADVIS: Droit d’auteur et Droit voisin dans la société de l’information.
It’s really important to focus on this law project.
I’ve made for my work at Evolix a small conference on software patents (07/04/05) that you can find on : https://sdubois.fr/data/brevetlogiciels.pdf
Understanding the lobbying behind this issue is really important to understand our « world ».
Making sentences that will be a bit « philosophical » isn’t the purpose here.
Just « take a chair, have a glass of wine, your favorite » (Offspring TM), read the text of the DADVIS and think.
To my mind you’ve got some help and guidelines on http://eucd.info/
I’ve never been a « terrorist » about the Open Source model, I always made my choice by analysing the pros and cons.
I think that the 100000 persons who have approuved the petition, have read « under the lines » that with such a law you won’t be able to study, innovate in computering or arts tomorrow…
Please think about this during the night of the 21 december …
Well, what a mess!!! The Deputies have voted in favor of the DADVSI law project, BUT they have also voted in favor of the « global licence » that is supposed to legitimize P2P downloading (including the downloading of copyrighted files).
Of course, uploading is still a crime… Hypocrisy, anyone?
