I've been following with interest the formation of PPUK policy on your Wiki,
especially that with respect to copyright, bearing in mind rms' remarks that
the Swedish PP's policy backfires with respect to Free software
(<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/pirate-party.html>).

(Presumably) your contribution to the Wiki discussion
<http://www.pirateparty.org.uk/wiki/Talk:Copyright_Policy_Working_Group>
mentions that the PPUK's draft policy will address rms' concerns; has the
draft policy been formulated yet?
