lets not sit here breeding hatred amongst ourselves over software licenses, for god's sake. we have more important things to do. we need to try and implement more different --kinds-- of crypto applications, like tim says in a recent post. we have to work together on this, not spread hard feelings amongst our little group. (really i think the number of people who can write this kind of code and who understand the political part is miniscule.) coopration is key. fucking smash the state. In a closed-door manuever, controversial "roving wiretap" provisions have been added to a major Intelligence authorization bill and passed by the House. Current wiretapping law allows tapping of a particular person's phones. The new provisions would dramatically expand current authority by allowing taps on any phone used by, or "proximate" to, the person being tapped -- no matter whose phone it is. http://www.cdt.org/legislation/calea/roving.html
