That's a different context than my reply but it is a legitimate point. If you don't like the rules in your country you are *probably* allowed to leave and possibly allowed to work on changing the rules from within. If you are not allowed to leave that sucks but the good news is that there are people and groups and countries that have supportive policies; I believe tthe US has a concept of political asylum for those seeking safe harbour from oppression - you still have to figure out how to get here. There are a number of efforts to free up information (apparently many people what information to be free, but information itself doesn't try that hard).

Like many I am willing to work a bit for almost anyone, more so for those who are genuinely passionate, even more so for those who contribute regularly and are civil about it and courteous enough to search the group history to see if a topic has been well debated. _______________________________________________ mozilla-crypto mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-crypto
