[Andrius Kulikauskas]

Daryl Hepting,

Thank you for alerting us to your call for "20 double-spaced page" 
essays for your "Free Knowledge Book".  I alert the participants of the 
COMMUNIA network http://www.communia-project.eu, the Union for the 
Public Domain http://www.public-domain.org, and also the Minciu Sodas 
laboratory http://www.ms.lt

Thank you also for alerting us to the link at the GRAIN website to our 
Ethical Public Domain workshop.  We are posting videos from that event 
at http://www.internettv.lt   Also, I invite you to join our website 
http://www.ethicalpublicdomain.org as we will be continuing our 
activity! and you can work there to encourage participation in your book.

Andrius Kulikauskas, Minciu Sodas, http://www.ms.lt, ms@ms.lt
