[discuss] Update of CLUE policy document.

[Russell McOrmond]

   I am trying to make an update of our Copyright policy document from 
http://cluecan.ca/policy/copyright to reflect changes that have 
happened, and issues which we need to clarify.

   The draft is at:

http://www.flora.ca/documents/clue-copyright-200807.html
http://www.flora.ca/documents/clue-copyright-200807.odt
http://www.flora.ca/documents/clue-copyright-200807.pdf

   It was only 2 pages, and has expanded to 4.

IT is the new headings which added the additional pages.


   - Comparison of Liberal Bill C-60 ( June 2005) and Conservative Bill 
C-61 (June 2008)

   - Differentiating science from science fiction

   - Protecting legitimate business models


   Any feedback to improve the document is appreciated.  I would also 
like to confirm with CLUE participants that this is the policy focus I 
should have for Copyright.  While I have my own views on issues not 
related directly to software, I keep those to personal statements and 
not things I say on behalf of CLUE.
