Free the Patents and Laws, Activist Tells Feds
,----[ Quote ]
| What’s worse than being a government agency targeted by a gadfly who wants
| data to be free and is willing to plead, sue, reverse-engineer, grandstand
| and shame his way into freeing government data?
|
| Well, try being a government agency on the receiving end of that in an
| administration that has pledged allegiance to transparency and openness.
|
| And that’s exactly where nation’s pre-eminent open-government data fighter
| Carl Malamud has got the Patent and Trademark Office and the National
| Archives and Records Administration, which controls — among other things —
| the Federal Register System.
