For me this seems bit U.S. centric. In many countries (even Western countries) reverse engineering is allowed. In many more countries there are no patents restricting those file formats. Therefore codes/plugins are most likely "illegal" only in U.S. and some other countries, but not all over the world. -- Tommi Vainikainen _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
