I just sent a few mails and made some calls. The person in Finland who in reality writes the Finnish statement in this matter is Olli-Pekka Rissanen from the ministry of finance.
He said that he has sent a letter that is against the approval of the draft and that to his knowledge also Sweden and the Netherlands is against it also. Germany is likely to be against also.
wow, that's a very good result! I'm impressed. Congratulations.
Thanks for the very quick action on this. I'm sorry about the haste, but apparently the EC is trying to ram this text through on very tight deadlines, after leaving it to rot for more than a year.
In general Mr. Rissanen seemed positive towards free software while speaking with me on the phone.
Very good! So now you have a contact in government whom you can talk to on other issues when necessary.
Best regards, Karsten
