THis is very good to hear, but still we should find a way to keep the 
pressure. 

The people from Agoria are acting in the Region of Brussels AGAINST the law 
proposal to use free software in the administration. Under their auspices,  6 
large companies (M$, Telindus, Oracle, Compaq, and 2 others)  have written a 
common to the president of the parliament and many ministers to vote AGAINST. 

So having a good hear from inside Agoria is very important. 

Do you see, Herman, another  way we could, gently, support that person or 
lobby with him ?
