Looks like a good idea, count me in. Perhaps it would also help to
add Python-based projects that are administrated by the people who
sign the letter, to show that serious users are concerned and not
just people who love signing open letters.

And you can add me to the list, of course.

I would rather not mention this issue. If the move to BeOpen is the
reason for CNRI's prolonged legal fight, then it's better not to
point it out again. And if it isn't, it's better not to suggest a
new argument to them.
