As a follow-up on the WIPO-issue:
On Larry Lessig's Blog someone posted two recents interview with someone
of WIPO, and Lois Boland of the US Patent Office
http://lessig.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=1436

Quote to remember:
“Open-source software is not protected under copyright law but only
contract law, which is not the domain of WIPO”. -- Lois Boland, US
Patent Office, august 2003
