Re: [Trisquel-users] Is tails a libre os?

Back to what you were saying in the above post. The source code is available  
for TrueCrypt and the problem is standards / licensing issues mostly rather  
than security. However there is a security concern in the way TrueCrypt was  
being developed behind closed doors. I think the security issue could have  
been solved, but the free software issues could not, due to copyright  
ownership having passed over to a hostile entity and as such licenses could  
not be changed. This is why it's ideal for copyright assignments to be handed  
over to an entity like the Free Software Foundation, the GNU project, etc.
