The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific
Partnership (CPTPP) is an enormous (roughly 6,000-page) treaty
between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New
Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam that was signed in Chile on
March 8, 2018. So far, only Mexico and Japan have ratified it. CPTPP is almost
identical to the original TPP, which included those 11 countries plus
the United States. In early 2017, the US withdrew from the treaty,
which its President had previously described as a "terrible deal".
this article has only one paragraph that explains anything about the problem:
Quoting:To what extent that happens will depend on how each country decides two questions of legal interpretation: first, whether FOSS licences constitute "commercially negotiated contracts"; and second, how significant the omission of "enforcement" from the list of conditional actions in the provision may be.
i'd like to know more about what these two things actually mean and why and how the treaty changes them.
rarely has an article left me for wanting more like this.
greetings, eMBee.
