There's already an example of this on /. today. Dolby has sent a cease
and desist regarding decoding AC3 to one of the *BSD projects. It's
allegedly a DMCA action.

This is certainly something we should pursue however. Talking at
conferences let's you spread your message to large numbers of people and
usually don't get interupted (too much) so you can actually get your
point across.
