I agree with that.

Well, I wouldn't say it like that... even if they don't state they want
to change their mind, they say also that they have taken into account
voices from the Open Source Community, and that they will associate all
interested parts to the discussion... let's see if it's wooden tongue or
if they're really gonna ask AFUL, APRIL, others to help them think about
it. We have to stay vigilant !

I have received a 2nd letter today from the ministry stating that they
did a mistake in their first answer and that we had to read "1er juillet
2002" there. It confirms another letter sent by a different office.

At least these people are working seriously and don't treat us anyhow.
Hope that they will always be so efficient when action comes...
