From: "Haim Ravia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Shaul Karl'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [gnubies-il] The Knesset will discuss Open Source! (fwd) Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2002 19:25:33 +0300 A. I was invited due to the fact that I'm dealing with Internet & Computer law. B. In such matters I usually represent the Israel Bar (Lishkat Orchei Hadin) in this Knesset Committee. This shall also be the case in this hearing also. C. The Committee will be discussing several issues, only one of which is Linux. D. One is always wrong to believe that he knows all he should about certain matters. I try to avoid such mistake. This is why I asked for pointers. As an attorney, and out of respect to the Knesset, I try to be as prepared as I can. F. It will be a pleasure to meet in this hearing people from the Linux community who can contribute. Surely, they are much knowledgeable than I am in Linux. > -----Original Message----- > From: Shaul Karl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 7:05 PM > To: Linux-IL Mailing List > Cc: RAVIA > Subject: Re: [gnubies-il] The Knesset will discuss Open Source!
