So you think it's appropriate to excise code entirely, thereby removing the freedom of people who are outside jurisdictions with crappy patent laws, just to ensure that those that do live in those jurisidictions can... What was it you were ensuring again? The only question here is if shipping the source code places debian and its developers at risk of legal issues. Shipping or not shipping the code does not change your freedom to use it. If you want to change that contact the appropriate governmental representative. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "Conscience is the inner voice which warns us somebody may be looking." - H.L.
