I know knoppix has taken down their website, but Im updated every so often of a new build being created, and it being offered for download at reliable linux sources (or at least I think they are) so I dunno whats goin on with that. I havent read the law cuz I dont live in Europe, I just assumed itd get taken care of somehow. But, just like knoppix, Bart, you can continue creating pebuilder, you just cant actively announce it - I am ASSUMING because like I said, Ive seen a newer Knoppix build

IIRC, Knoppix shut down their site because they're protesting against the software patents. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're dead at that moment smile.gif.

EDIT: Ahh... here's the slashdot article I was looking for. Then again, the Knoppix site does seem to mean they're closed, so now I'm confused...

It's not closed, the link is hidden in the article. I've also signed the petition.
