    Yes, the US Naval blah blah funded the original development and in fact they said that civilian use of the service would help mask any "other" usage - so I consider it a patriotic duty of every citizen of the USA to run a TOR node - to aid the US government in its fight against terrorism and to assist their intelligence efforts.

    Seems a little ironic that a project that provides anonymity should be hindred by patent infringements.
