[governance] Free and Open Source Software equated with Piracy?

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

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."
