</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; the use of libdvdcss is allowed for interoperability.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; So for me, Mageia can come with libdvdcss and other tools
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; for
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; interoperability
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; And for the people hosting mirrors outside of France ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; It's their own responsability, no one force them, and some in the
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; world take
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; the responsability to host mirrors with questionnable software.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; Let's
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; give
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; them the liberty to choose as we have the opportunity here in
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; France to ship
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; such software. No one forces several company, university, or other
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; groups to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;&gt; mirror ArchLinux, PCLinuxOS, LinuxMint, PLF
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; So I assume that you volunteer to find another Tier 1 mirror to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; replace
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; ibiblio.org ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Well, ibiblio.org contains other distros that contain patented software
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; (like arch and debian), and dvdcss (arch), and more than likely many
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; others:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/">ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Oops, didn't notice the above posts were about DRM only, not patents...
</I>&gt;<i> anyway, ibiblio contains such distros as well.
</I>
BTW, according to 17 U.S.C. Sec. 1201(f) circumvention of protection measures 
is allowed if it is necessary to achieve interoperability with other software.

Of course, this may not apply to CSS...
