IP (why is there no property tax on that, by the way) law is extreme, I agree. Debian is one of the few entities treating it with the same extremeness as US courts do. I agree with this position, by the way. I was not being critical at all.

I did not mean it in a negative way at all. Mockery is flattery, and it gives stage to the idea. I wouldn't want Debian to change it's stance on the issue at all. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.
