It might be legal to talk about such things but there's a lot of
corporate paranoids out there on witch hunts and would love to pop a
bunch of seemingly inocint guys out there because they're talking
about cracking and copying and whatever.  Plus the basig subject
matter of this list is linux and speakup and obviously, the software
that revolves around it.  None of this software needs to be cracked,
by the way.  

As far as I'm concerned, cracks of proprietary programs, JFW auth keys
and the like really don't belong on this list.  No, I'm not the
moderator of this list but please, I want to read relevant GNU/Linux
and speakup related messages, not windows stuff.
