[free-sklyarov] What Adobe says about Monday's meeting

[Declan McCullagh]

I think EFF (I told them this) made a tactical error in not communicating
to folks here that they were talking with Adobe, but this happened
apparently very quickly.

That said, I don't think their intent in withholding the letter is
because of its content but because they don't want to piss off Adobe.
I have more details in my article up tomorrow.
