Well, what if we end having enough ressources in the futur ?

And TomTom ( <A HREF="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/02/25/232212/Has-Microsofts-Patent-War-Against-Linux-Begun">http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/02/25/232212/Has-Microsofts-Patent-War-Against-Linux-Begun</A> )
And a patent deal was done with Amazon (

And I am sure that with more than 3 minutes research, I can find plenty of example.

&gt;<i> Mpeg patents are pursued, but the several PLF mirrors in the U.S.,

</I>
Many PLF mirrors ?
I see only 2 of them, and one of them is out ( non existant domain, 
bigsearcher.com )
<A HREF="http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors.php">http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors.php</A>
So basically &quot;many PLF mirrors&quot; = 1 ?

Not to mention that a ratio of 2 mirrors in the USA out of a total
of 25 seems rather odd, for something that admins do not care.
