Has this been posted to slashdot yet?  I don't really read it myself, but lots 
of others that would be interested in this do, and some of them my even try 
to do something about it.  Oh, and lwn.net would also be a good place to post 
this story.  Tends to be a bit less emotional and level-headed than slashdot.

Cheers,
