Alan Cox attacks the European DMCA

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/25088.html

"Alan Cox has issued a wake up call to the Linux community amid concerns
that the pending European Union Copyright Directive (EUCD) could stymie open
source development. The directive, which was approved last year, extends
European copyright legislation so that it is even more restrictive than
America's controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), critics
argue. National governments have until December 22 to incorporate the
directive in national legislation."
