Hi! There was an article on slashdot about DMCA and the latest Changelog of the linux kernel: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/16/1146212&mode=thread&tid=153 They say that Changelogs of the latest Linux-Kernels are available to non-US residents at: http://www.thefreeworld.net/non-US/ On Freitag, 25.

Alan Cox says that providing details about security holes is illegel in the US due to the DMCA laws. He may be right, while I do not want to comment on this law.
