There just aren't enough of us. But hey, you and the rest of the world will still have Linux, so who cares, right? It's great to see such enthusiastic support for the principles of free software. My personal opinion is that no one in this discussion is really concerned about getting arrested or sued over publishing Linux changelogs. I think it's all just a publicity stunt to make a point, at the expense of those who have no choice in the matter. In any case, I'm thoroughly disgusted with the whole subject and don't intend to answer any more posts or emails about it.

(more > likely it'll just become unavailable in the US). Oh, I'm absolutely certain that Linux development will continue but Linux just won't be available to people in the US any more. If people are truly uncomfortable with it, they should prevent the SSSCA from becoming a law. regards, Rik -- DMCA, SSSCA, W3C?
