Hardly any surprises here
Pretty much says it all. All of the parties reported on want the reforms to reflect what is best for them.
Dr Geist, while I realize that you are also one of the folks calling for Crown Copyright to dropped, I can’t fully agree with that position (as I understand it). I have said here before that I think that it needs to be changed some; after some more examination it appears that my approach is closer to the Creative Commons (non-commercial) license. The only thing I’d like to see, but am not married to this, is that the non-commercial bit applies only to residents of Canada.
