[ale] petition

[Geoffrey]

I've come to the conclusion that we need to get the word out. I've heard 
that the hold out states on the Microsoft trial want Microsoft to port 
Office to Linux.  I don't know about you, but I don't want Office taking 
my Linux box down.  I think the proper solution is for Microsoft to 
publish their file formats.  What do you folks think?  I want to get a 
petition going.  I've dead serious about this.

Anyone know how you would go about this, from the legal standpoint?  I 
can throw up a site for this purpose on no time, but how do I get it to 
the right people, so that it can be 'heard?'
