Therefore philosophical DRM > discussions probably don't really fit on the Plucker board. If it prevents DRM to be implemented and later commercially exploited, it may have its place. That would be turning a free software project into a tool which would restrict free access to data you purchase. It may still be free but the intent will be damaged. I think you won't do this. I don't think the plucker team will code that. But somebody else may do it. In fact plucker code was already stolen and sold by Bluesomething. Don't help them - just ignore DRM issues. -- Guylhem P.
