[Ldsoss] Boy Scouts get a "Respect Copyrights" activity badge

[Carl Youngblood]

I agree with John.  There are a number of ways this topic intersects  
with the group's interests:

1. The Church is the strongest supporter of scouting out there.  The  
scouting program is intimately connected with the mission of the Church.
2. Intellectual property rights and fair use are topics that are very  
important to those who are interested in open source software.

This list being for LDS-interested folk who are also interested in  
open source software, it seems like the subject is spot-on for this  
group.
