I don't believe in state-granted entitlements to knowledge in the first
place, but if nothing else I surely agree that the idea of placing
everything funded by taxpayers into the public domain seems like a
no-brainer.
Personally, I'd at least like to see developing countries consider
far-reaching fair use/fair dealing amendments to copyright when it comes
to education use of copyrighted materials. But I suppose we each have
our utopias....
