However, this feature has not been integrated, to my knowledge. Is it due to a change in policy, or lack of time ? The announce (in French) about the agreement can be read here ; it was written by Loic Dachary, head of the FSF France : http://infos.samizdat.net/article.php3?id_article=75 A text in English describing the general idea of "software against software patents" has also been written by the same Loic Dachary : http://france.fsfeurope.org/news/article2001-06-26-01.en.html As an author and supporter of free software, and a Mandrake Linux user, I am strongly in favor of such a feature which would also underline the commitment of Mandrake to free software philosophy.
