I think that it needs to be renamed, DVD is obviously used for more then video now. I would think that eventually it would replace CDs, used to music, video, and of course data.
The free market way to resolve this situation would be to boycott software companies that don't offer the services you want. If you want open source, buy only open source software, and tell all your friends to buy/not buy. When the government steps in and takes action like this it can get dangerous. Today it's this, tommorrow they'll be telling what OS developers must develope for. The governement doesn't know enough to make standards, the people should be in charge of that independently.
