Well, Stallman has personally joined the Unicode list and is pushing it.
Right now the disucssion is not whether the symbol should be included but
what its Unicode name should be. Several people are objecting to the word
"copyleft" as being linguistically incorrect, but so far I have been the
only one objecting to the inclusion of the symbol at all.

Perhaps it's time for others to join the list and express their objection.
See http://www.unicode.org/unicode/consortium/distlist.html on how to
subscribe. Of course, any posts there must be technical, devoid of any
personal emotions...
