I agree with the above. There as always been a legal need for responsibility. There was this recent incident with Blastwave, where one person ran away with the domain name and was refusing to talk to anyone(or so we thought), whereas the reality is that because of some international level investigation plus legality involving the US and Canada, he was legally required to keep his mouth shut. The prosecutors themselves advised him to make all public announcements through his lawyers. I think we've all done enough Redhat bashing, folks. The best is to accept that sometimes, a company that has accepted legal responsibility for a particular operation needs to keep follow the law when it comes to legal investigations. > Rahul > > > -- > ______________________________________________________________________ > Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) > List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail > Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions. > -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
