| Message | Ah. I suppose it should be left to the multinational monopolies to make a decision that's responsible and good for the people of Kirlawa, plainly they have only the peoples best interests at heart. |
| Date | 05:07:27, July 18, 2007 CET | From | Kirlawan Lightning | To | Debating the Software Act |
| Message | We would prefer that the laws supported both open and closed source software. Having no government policy will not do this. We believe that the current law is not ideal, but it is better than not having a law. |
