Okay, so it's not GPL. Does it include any kernel level code? Because if it does, I don't want to get into the whole distribute-non-GPL-kernel-modules hell.
It's not GPL, but it grants the same freedoms and all the source is available. I think it has some kernel-level code. However, it doesn't modify the kernel at all I don't think. They have deb packages for ubuntu under x86 and 64, and you can compile it yourself for the distro-specific version. Comrade Ringo Kamens On 6/21/07, Benjamin Schieder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't really care about Win32. Preferably, ROCKate encrypted block devices could only be read from within ROCKate. Guess that won't happen, though. What I meant with Cross-platform is: sparc, x86_64, ppc, arm?
