How to Hijack an EU Open Source Strategy Paper

[ Thanks to GreyGeek for this link.

“This file is an edited version of the EU OSS Strategy
draft with the input of Jonathan Zuck, President of the Association
for Competitive Technology, an organisation that has strong ties
with Microsoft

“The file is a draft for an expert panel formed by the European
Commission. This panel is divided into workgroup (IPR, Open Source,
digital life, etc.) ACT and Comptia have been infiltrating every
workgroup, even the one on Open Source (WG 7). They are doing the
best they can to drown any initiative that would not only promote
OSS in Europe but also that could help Europe create a sucessful
European software sector.

“The audience for this document could be journalists who would
be interested in getting to know more how lobbies of all kind
influence the European institutions. Here it is perhaps even more
stringent as ACT is clearly an US organization with ties to
Microsoft. Verifications might not be easy as this is an internal
draft.”
