Right. Software patents are bad too. So we really should be putting
patented crypto algorythms in the kernel and distribute the kernel
from Finland. That would make usage of the kernel illegal in the US,
but ofcourse you would not have a problem with that would you ?
As I said - I could not care less, *I* live in a free country ;)
