Dear Sir John,
It is not that we are fighting head-to-head with them. It is just a
matter of pointing out their misconceptions about FOSS and about the
bill.
I am urging Rep. Casino to publish a rebuttal and the community to do
everything it can to inform the media about FOSS. The thing is, most
of these media folks do not know squat about FOSS - they only know
Microsoft, for all I know.

Hi, I hope we Open Source advocates be cool about this, we are not
politician to fight head to head with this people it will only
cause more dis-information regarding the open source if we do.
People do not know what is the difference between Open Source and
the rest of Software license. We who understand know its benefit
and how good Open source is to our country. I think we should do a
pres release relating to this bill so that they will know what we
will gain in this bill and avoid hurting or targeting people who
are against this bill.
Cheers,
John
