I think this demonstrates a lack of understanding about non-US. non-US was for things that could be legally used everywhere, but could not be *exported* from the US without serious hassle. non-US was *not* for things which could not legally be used in the US. And I would like to point out, for the record, that it is not only the US that has stupid laws. Yes, we certainly have more than our share, but, for example, Germany has stupid laws that prevent certain video games from being played, and Australia also has stupid video game laws that could be interpreted as being binding against Debian. I'm sure that every country has laws which are problematic; don't blame it all on the US. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
