In principle you're right,.. but we start to enter a path of doom if we censor ourself like this... You'll probably be able to find thousands of places in any distro, where some patent troll or content mafia organisations pretend to have "rights" on.

Unfortunately courts in many countries largely follow those evil organisations. Cheers, Chris.
