+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> All of your points are exactly what I am trying to point out and even
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> reinforce my concerns. These are all true. This is why, in my opinion,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the Mageia distro should not be installing all of these controversial
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> software packages by default.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Are you seriously suggesting Mageia should produce a distro without ssh,
+</I>&gt;<i> openssl and even with all browsers stripped of https support?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I can imagine how popular that would be with the majority of users...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> This would then remove that layer of liability from the Mageia
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> project group. In my opinion, Mageia should be wary in wanting to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> install a fully functioning distro if this means using software packages
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> that may get it into trouble (Mageia itself).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> But here lies the mistake in your reasoning. Mageia doesn't have to
+</I>&gt;<i> exclude all those packages, since the only liability Mageia has, is
+</I>&gt;<i> towards the French laws.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So the sensible choice is to base the choice of packages to include on
+</I>&gt;<i> French law. It is up to the user to make sure he/she only installs and
+</I>&gt;<i> uses packages that are legal in his/her country.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Obviously running in circles here, I guess we both have our opinions and
+we let it rest at that.
