Subject: OT, ACTA, Secrecy and free software
I found this site

rather illuminating,
especially with regard to free software.

However, this part scares me more than anything:
"


      United States


Knowledge Ecology International
</wiki/Knowledge_Ecology_International> also filed a Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA)
</wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_%28United_States%29> request in the
United States but had their entire request denied, with the United State
Trade Representative's FOIA office stating it was withheld for being
material "properly classified in the interest of national security."
However, a recent leak has shown that the Obama administration intends
to start an undisclosed internet chapter.^[41]" <#cite_note-HuffPo-40>
