I think the 'Germany based' would be exactly the problem due to the legal limitations in Germany (Hackerparagraph). If you want your freedom - for P2P software and as well for auditing tools like tcpdump, kismet, aircrack etc . - you need to go abroad.
I agree. Any suggestions? I choosed Germany, as it is still better than the alternative US. I don't want to have a illegal service. Packages which are illegal in most countries are not the aim of my suggestion. They may get built otherwhere. I want a solution for these packages, which are legal in most countries but Novell nevertheless does provide them. MP3 is the best example for this. Althought it is patented it violates EU laws and still (we will see what future brings) cannot be enforced in the whole EU. So we need to have a SUSE linux without MP3 only because of US limitations. The new Hackparagraph you are mentioning is a big drawback, you're right. As well as the decss problem In Germany as well.
