I know - but the point I was making was that there are already too many political and commercial pressures supporting Linux to NOT let someone put a strangle hold on the keys for lots of $$. Anyone trying it will a) Either be trumped by government who will ensure that linux developers get a key for use b) Or trumped by someone using legal arguments that it is unconsitutional to kill free software in this way c) Or by the market - because the imposition of this type of control makes non controlled products MUCH more attractive (relative to now). - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQE9xQvGuFHxcV2FFoIRAiRJAJiNEiiRFY1LxOD+u1f8Xwagau/OAJ4nGcLx 2MhCjAoo4TuiVqIkamdMbA== =Ndsj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
