This was sent to me on another mailing list. I am on a number of
smaller and or community mailing lists who feel very threatend by this.

This is a done deal. They may just now be announcing it, but they have been doing it for several months.

Pretty much of all that you included is simply untrue. Whether it's

or are putting FUD out for their own reasons I'll let you judge.

But it's pretty much all simply false.
