US DMCA, and Europe and other parts of the world have their own
similar laws and legal pitfalls, and it's never that cut an dried,
black and white. Most OSS providers can't sholder the burden, even
the slightest hint of exposure to legality questions over included
software in their disros. Legal or not, right or wrong. The reality
is even if they're in the right from the start, and eventually
prevail, the legal costs of any challenge would bury them forever.
Now what has this to do with lookin inside rpms? ..or rpmdrake?
....or with PLF or pbone.net ? Get around what?
