> It has quotes from myself and Markus in it, and mentions both of our

> The letter itself is very similar to the one that we sent to the
> Environment Committee in Parliament back in March, which Markus signed
> and the OSGeo Board approved a statement of support for - it just adds
> a paragraph describing what happened since and has questions at the
> end. This version is just coming from Public Geodata's 6000+
> supporters, under Benjamin Henrion's signature. So OSGeo's only 
> involvement here is its directors being quoted in the Press Release.
