[pp.int.general] The true core Pirates principles -Serious attempt to get a workable consensus-

[Richard Stallman]

    *- * The information society needs complete new rulings (preserve openness,
    change copyright laws on digital data, internet as public space/good,
    reforming patent law and ipr etc.)

"ipr" is a vague way of talking about copyrights, patents, and some other laws
that are less important. So "and ipr etc." is mostly redundant here.
Since it carries hostile spin and spreads confusion, I suggest deleting it.

See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html.
