[ALAC] Google proposes to open its "closed generics"

[Carlton Samuels]

Um, see where they made very good rhetorical use of .cat and .mil too.....

Sometime back I attempted a deliberate provocation by asking  in context of

establish a no less worthy online identity?

The free exercise of religion thing and the......um, guess it was too
subtle.....
