Well, just for the record, such home and open-source solutions exist for 
Linux:

http://www.whatsup.org.il/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3206

Plus, what the proposed law is talking about is doing such a thing at the ISP 
level, where they can be cross-platform, assuming the end-user software is 
available for the various platforms. So Linux is not the main issue here.

That put aside, I agree with everyone here, who commented and who oppose the 
law on ethical grounds.
