Hi. I don’t know enough to comment on the efficacy of this move. I hope that ongoing negotiations will result in protection for Open Source software, even despite (predictably) fierce efforts by profit-making centers to work toward a landscape of predominantly proprietary software and applications. Using terms however such as “government overreach” is not helpful in this context, as they come from the world of aggrieved businesses and corporations trying to “get out from under” government regulations, not from the world of creatives and non-profits trying to work on reining in those very aggressive profit-makers and make space for sharing, community, and a collaborative and cooperative world wide web. Please let’s not start talking as though all regulation were necessarily bad. Regulating large business interests on the web is crucial to maintaining space for Open Source and Shared resource creation.
