[Discuss] Govt Source Code Policy

[greg at freephile.com (Greg Rundlett (freephile))]

I'm officially bowing out of this thread.  I think the type of "discussion"
taking place is detrimental to the list as a whole.

For anyone with actual input on the U.S. Federal Government Source Code
Policy, I urge you to respond to their official request for comments by
April 11

Peace out,
