See thin link about this:
"Lost In Translation: The French Government Isn't Banning Open Source Software"
http://techdirt.com/articles/20051202/1451240_F.shtml

Quotes from that link:
"it looks like it's really a law banning circumvention of copy
protection -- like a French version of the DMCA. It may also be trying
to ban "open source" file sharing software that is used to infringe on
copyrights. "
