There's no real evidence that the US Government is any more likely to start regulating code in a way that would be a problem to Debian than there is that any other country that hosts a Debian mirror. There are several governments right now who could have objections to Quake and purity-off and the contents of the fortunes files. Worry about them first. Debian's policies should be based on actual circumstances, not anti-US bias. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
