ola,
you're totally right that we should get out of sourceforge,
that grants more rights to US citizens than to others.
we can find a domain in .fi, .de, .ch or .nl,
if you know what i mean.
so yeh you can remove unauthorized and pidip from sourceforge.
ciao,
sevy
pd _ and could you leave me in peace _forever_ ? thank you

Notes on the application of the Open Source Definition ¶
The Open Source Definition requires that all Open Source licenses not
limit the ways or people that are permitted to use the software.
Though some developers of software may wish to prevent illegitimate
use, the following should be kept in mind:
* You can't restrict the way folks use your software, only make
recommendations. That is: You cannot say that your software will not
be used to commit a crime, or for military purposes; but you can
recommend against breaking laws or using the software for military
purposes, or the operaton of nuclear power facilities. No
discrimination against purpose of use.
* You can't restrict who can use your software: business,
military, individuals, individuals with past criminal record can all
use your software alike. No discrimination against people.
* You can't license your software to prohibit use by T7 countries,
but you can include clauses to note the requirements placed on the
licensee by the US Government, and state that users should abide by
all applicable laws.
