I know that! My question is why it is not included in the *standard* distribution. NO other distribution turns off xmatrix in their binary packages. (At least none that Jamie Zawinski has ever heard of. And he whote it!) Here is what jamie Zawinski ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said about the matter: "No, they're being paranoid bozos. No other distro has complained about it, and I've never heard anyone mention it before." If there was a copyright problem or some other legal issue with xmatrix, you would think that the AUTHd heard about it by now. BTW, there is a PC and Windows version of the Matrix screensaver distributed through the official Matrix movie web site. (XMatrix is better though...)
