As a member of Elekronisk Forpost Norge (EFN), an organisation inspired
by EFF, I know what this is all about. And of course I agree.

I live in Norway and is therefore not a member of EU. I do not think I
can complain to my minister minister.

I would love to add it to the webpage. I'll do it right now. If someone
disagrees with good reasoning, I'll remove. Someone may say it's not
smart for us to mix the project with politics, but this may be the whole
life of project, so if it helps the project staying alive, I really
think we should add a banner.

What should I link? demo.ffii.org ?
