Thank you.
There is even an ffii.org page on it

        http://swpat.ffii.org/cnino/haag016/

but still I do not really oversee the whole thing.  Of course, as a rule
of thumb, the special status of information/logic as a public good and as
an outflow of the human mind must be defended against the dominant
control-freak ideology which would like to treat mind like matter.  Even
if the HC was not dangerous, it would be necessary to put the mind matter
borderline clearly into the treaty in order to raise awareness.

If we are extremely lucky, maybe in a 20 years the relations will be the
other way around and the special status of matter will have to be defended
against information libertarians who extrapolate their world view.  But
at the moment hardly any informational libertarianism can be too extreme.
