Wow, encontré más información sobre este tema, es increíble, y es un
ataque directo a nuestro movimiento FOSS.

Bueno, de allí revisé los documentos con recomendaciones para India,
Brasil, Indonesia y Tailandia, y algunas de las "recomendaciones" son
absolutamente descaradas, instando a Estados Unidos a usar su
influencia para evitar las leyes sobre uso de software libre.
India
http://www.iipa.com/rbc/2010/2010SPEC301INDIA.pdf
"The industry is also concerned about moves by the government to
consider mandating the use of open source software and software of only
domestic origin. Though such policies have not yet been implemented,
IIPA and BSA urge that this area be carefully monitored."
Brasil
http://www.iipa.com/rbc/2010/2010SPEC301BRAZIL.pdf
"Avoid legislation on the mandatory use of open source software by
government agencies and government controlled companies."
Indonesia
http://www.iipa.com/rbc/2010/2010SPEC301INDONESIA.pdf
"Rescind March 2009 MenPAN circular letter endorsing the use and
adoption of open source software which threatens to create additional
trade barriers and deny fair and equitable market access to software
companies."
"We strongly urge USTR to consider the implications that Indonesia’s
open source preference policy has on IP protection and access to
Indonesia’s market for U.S. goods and services."
Tailandia
"Among other market access restrictions to be addressed, reverse
proposed policy mandating use of open source software, and, e.g.,
requiring bundling of government funded computers and computers for
schools with open source software; maintain neutral policies with
respect to technology choice."
Que lástima no ver a Colombia en esa lista, pues la iniciativa de la
ley promovida por Colibri no pasó.

Gracias Carlos por compartir ese artículo.
No es de extrañar que la BSA (Business Software Alliance) esté en ese
grupo, y felices con Colombia pues tienen a la DIAN trabajando gratis
para ellos :-)
Leí le reporte de la IIPA para 2010 aquí:
http://www.iipa.com/pdf/IIPASpecial3012010SubmissionPressReleaseFinal011810.pdf
Y me encuentro esta perla en la página 3:
IIPA also supports the commencement in March 2010 of negotiations
leading to a Trans-Pacific Partnership FTA, and urges the
Administration and Congress to approve promptly the Korea, Colombia,
and Panama FTAs. These initiatives are critical vehicles to open
foreign markets and encourage free and fair trade for America’s most
productive companies.
Traducción de la parte más relevante:
IIPA ... urge a la Administración y al Congreso a aprobar rápidamente
los TLC con Corea, Colombia y Panamá. Estas iniciativas son vehículos
críticos para abrir los mercados extranjeros y promover el libre y
justo comercio PARA LAS COMPAÑÍAS MÁS PRODUCTIVAS DE AMÉRICA.
El subrayado es mío - y todos sabemos que AMÉRICA significa
NORTEAMÉRICA en este contexto.
Habrá que ver qué obligaciones y sorpresas nos trae el TLC en materia
de "IP Protection"

Les comparto lo que acabo de encontrar en el blog de
tecnología del Guardian del Reino Unido
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/feb/23/opensource-intellectual-property
Que en uno de sus apartes dice mas o menos que OPEN SOURCE=PIRATERIA o
que es OPEN SOURCE es una viiolación a la Lista Especial 301 que trata
sobre propiedad intelectual
Este es un aparte del artículo
... Andres Guadamuz, a lecturer in law at the
University of Edinburgh has
done some digging and discovered that an influential lobby group is
asking the US government to basically consider open source as
the equivalent of piracy - or even
worse. It turns out that the International Intellectual Property
Alliance, an umbrella group for organisations including the MPAA
and RIAA, has requested with the US Trade Representative to consider
countries like Indonesia, Brazil and India for its "Special 301
watchlist" because they use open source software. What's
Special 301? It's a report that examines the "adequacy and
effectiveness of intellectual
property rights" around the planet - effectively the list of
countries that the US government considers enemies of capitalism. It
often gets wheeled out as a form of trading pressure - often around
pharmaceuticals and counterfeited goods - to try and force governments
to change their behaviours. ...
Se queda uno sin palabras ante el poder politico económico que
se
trata de tejer en este negocio del software y en general del
conocimiento.
