Stop the French government from prohibiting free software

[John Sullivan]

The government of France is considering amending a proposed law so
that it would prohibit much, or potentially all, free software.

Their vague wording leaves the exact scope of this unclear.

See <http://www.boingboing.net/2005/12/02/france_about_to_get_.html>
for further information.

The prohibition of free software is an amendment to a larger bill that
is unjust without it.  Every one of the provisions described
here is unjust---a sign that the government works for the media companies
against the public.
