I've edited your quote a bit. G1G1 participants support us is many ways, one of them being early users of many features that are mainly targetted to our XO users in deployment/pilot countries. The DRM stuff is a feature of many that falls within this list. That's all I wanted to clarify, _many_ things on G1G1 are not there for the G1G1 donors, and would be hard to justify if we looked at them as primary targets. So this is not 'backwards', it's our modus operandi. You can argue for an exception here -- perhaps this feature is specially painful or burdensome for G1G1. Let's keep the perspective straight. Note: I don't have an opinion either way WRT DRM on G1G1 machines, and haven't participated in any discussions about it, so not familiar with the arguments pro and against. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
