When the French government goes after Debian it is fine for you when they arrest all DDs in France, like they did with Pavel Durov? And if a DD in France had a house or apartment or some savings, it is fine for you when this gets confiscated to compensate for whatever penalties France wants to impose on Debian? > Cheers, > > Thomas Goirand (zigo) cu Adrian
