Since when are there any MPs who care about freedom? Last time I
checked, Pirate Party had not been elected yet :-)

By the way, in France the distro they chose was Ubuntu, and not a
GNU-Free distribution (particularly if you consider its recent codec
partnerships).

By the way (bis), I forgot to mention where one can find the text of
the declaration:
