Simpler: instead of requiring people to add /etc/LEGAL, either add it by default or require them to add /etc/ILLEGAL. No reason to have illegal be the default, might get someone sued. (Actually, the whole scheme might be considered "hooks" for encryption and be illegal in some countries; beats me. Too bad only lawyers understand the law. :-( ) Havoc
