That would sure pump up the blacklist, all right. I think at this point the right thing for me to do is gather data on the scope of the problem. I have some ideas about that. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a> It is the assumption of this book that a work of art is a gift, not a commodity. Or, to state the modern case with more precision, that works of art exist simultaneously in two "economies," a market economy and a gift economy. Only one of these is essential, however: a work of art can survive without the market, but where there is no gift there is no art. -- Lewis Hyde, The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
