Update on Playfair

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gonna-get-messier dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A few weeks back, Slashdot reported that Apple had sent a cease and desist letter to Sarovar.org, the Indian site hosting the Playfair project. This is the first incident in India where a corporation has used legal means to shut down a Free Software project. Some of the prominent members of the Open Source/Free Software community in India have issued an update on this situation. There is also an interesting post in the FSF-India mailing lists."

    Should smoking one too many joints carry a life sentance like it does?

    You're right. My neighbor (well, old neighbor) got sentenced last year- LIFE IN PRISON for smoking too many joints.

    Oh, you said "sentance". A life sentace is much different than a sentence.
