FYI - EFF is being discussed almost everywhere.  gnu.misc.discuss
wasn't included in the original headers of this article, but I thought
FSF and LPF folks might find these comments enlightening.

      If Mitch is so concerned to protect freedom of 'communication in

      a good command for 'Print you spreadsheet'.
      
      The man's hypocracy is astounding!

   Kapor, who left the management of Lotus Development Corp. some
   years ago, is currently the president of On Technology. He has
   publicly opposed the outcome of the Lotus/Paperback Software
   lawsuit, and opposes Lotus's decision to sue Borland as well.

   It takes minimal research to uncover this information, Major. When
   you choose to flame someone, take pains to get your facts right.

   I was flown to Washington D.C. this week by Computer Professionals
   for Social Responsibility to attend the press conference announcing
   the Electronic Frontier Foundation, as well as other meetings
   relating to the current government crackdown on so-called
   "hackers." Kapor remarked at several of these meetings that he
   regarded the Lotus/Paperback lawsuit as setting a bad precedent.
