In general, I object to the use of my code in ways that don't permit users to run it for any purpose, study it, adapt it to suit their own needs, modify the code and distribute it, modified or not. If this means my code can't be used to implement DRM, that's a good thing. All anti-piracy measures I've ever known deprive users of legitimate rights too. So, yes, I don't agree with these measures. I believe in punishing the guilty, not in punishing innocent bystanders just such that the guilty have to find work arounds to become guilty. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
