Doesn't BK use a form of DRM quite successfully?
To monitor users?

from you, whose feeble cries incite, you troll,
I heed no words, and pay no mind or thought.
Your post, if jest, is neither funny nor droll,
And no one's seen what good you may have wrought.

McVoy, if arsed, could answer this flamebait
But no one but you could give a rat's ass
If anyone should answer your complaint.
The tactic is transparent, much too crass.

So stop this thread right now, I beg of you.
There are enough trolls as it is, I say.
There's too much noise on here already too
And we'd rather not have you here to stay.

Each time another troll bleats or goes "honk",
I add to my .procmailrc *plonk*

I must say that if everyone responded so gracefully and amusingly,
trolling would become a welcome event, if only to see wli write something
other than code. Well done, wli.

Now I know I was branded a troll earlier for saying that
Larry used mild DRM, but I thought it monitored and gave samples
of code to make sure closed source things wern't made with the
free version, and it monitored push, pull activity, Which is why
I wonder if Larry has any Ideas, but I never made to insinuate he
was "evil". Especially as I like the BK/CVS gatway.

I have lots of ideas but unless they are somehow related to the kernel I
think everyone would appreciate it if I kept those ideas to myself or
discussed them in a more appropriate forum.
