Maybe I expressed myself a bit misinterpretative. I don't want to request an |
31 |
elog message telling users about alternative packages. But in my opinion an |
32 |
elog message pointing at the bald-faced parts of Adobe's license should be |
33 |
added. These parts about allowing Adobe to install further content protection |
34 |
software is just too dangerous in my opinion. |
