That said, I think it's always worth remembering that WLYUG isn't a lobbying
or advocacy group:

    "WYLUG is a group of people who use or are interested in GNU Linux and Open
     Source software. We aim to offer informal help and guidance to GNU Linux
     and Open Source software users through events, meetings, our email lists
     and of course this website.

I'm not saying that I'm for or against this, but I wouldn't like the balance
to shift away from the informal.
