  Quite a bit there already.  Are there forums people can join to

  I know I am intrigued by "Convice Engineers Without Borders to promote
free software and take a more anti-intellectual property stance".  I hope
that it is movement away from the term "Intellectual Property" and the bad
public policy that forms based on that terminology, and not an opposition
of creative rights supporting copyright itself.
