[Upd-discuss] a longer term strategy for promoting the publicdomain?

[at]

For me it is a single issue. You can call me radical if you want. I have
the "N(C)!" sign tatooed on my arm, and I wouldn't like to have to tatoo
"N(P)!" and "N(TM)!" as well...

On the other hand, I wouldn't be so sure that calling it "IP" biases on in

talking about the issue. When I lecture about it, I always oppose IP to IF

(Intellectual Freedom) and the bias works the other way round. But, of
course, this might not work with conservative audiences.
