  | Hmm, I'll look forward to reading that, but so far I get only a null
  | page from that URL.

 oops!  minor error on my part.  the correct URL is:

    http://europa.eu.int/idabc/servlets/Doc?id=19296

 many apologies for the bad copy-and-paste.  sorry.
 it is a 380KiB PDF:

    “Advice report
     EUROPEAN COMMISSION
     Enterprise Directorate General
     IDA/GPOSS
     Encouraging Good Practice in the use of Open Source
          Software in Public Administrations
     Report on Open Source Licensing of software developed by
          The European Commission
          (applied to the CIRCA solution)
     16th December, 2004”

 I still haven't read it (just finished downloading it).

sorry & cheers!
