As Dave says, this isn't the reality right now, but it could be a very real one down the road.

Because of this, we need safeguards in place _now_ to prevent fraud from taking place in the future. -- Ryan Abel Maemo Community Council chair _______________________________________________ maemo-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-community
