-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
A quick update for those of you who're following the PlayFair case, where Apple threatened Sarovar.org with legal consequences unless they removed the PlayFair package from their servers: There are a number of loosely-coordinated efforts on to evaluate Apple's threat and see whether it's legal in the context of Indian law. It's premature to judge one way or the other, but a number of lawyers seem to feel that Apple is well within its rights and will win the case if it comes to court. On the other hand, a number of experts also seem to agree that Apple has overstepped the bounds of what they are permitted to do under law, and if we're lucky they (Apple) may even be in line for damages. In the meantime M P Anand Babu (whom you may remember from his ILUG-Delhi days) has taken over as the official project maintainer for PlayFair. He's looking for hosting space in India, so if you know a free software-friendly ISP who offers server colocation, please contact AB directly at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Rajkumar S has written a position paper on the PlayFair issue, which he and I subsequently worked on together to complete. We're passing that to journalists who have queries about the PlayFair case. The paper is available at http://kandalaya.org/playfair.txt . Please go ahead and use it if you wish to educate anyone about the basic issues involved in this case. We'd appreciate it if you send any changes you make back to us for inclusion in future versions of the document. If you wish to offer any kind of support (legal, technical, financial) the right person to contact would be Anand Babu.
