Does anyone have a list of what packages are missing from the USA distribution that are provided with the German distribution? It would be nice if this list also showed what series said packages were located in.
Mostly, that's anything containing encryption. Not because of US export laws, but because virtually all of them use patented RSA stuff at a point, and RSA licenses are very expensive (a SuSE Linux box would cost several thousand dollars if it included a RSA license).
