I feel the same argument can be make about Tor. While it primary uses are probably illegal (doesn't necessary mean immoral) activity, it helps a lot free press in oppressed regimes (also illegal, but by western standards moral).

Posted by mmahut on Sunday June 16, 2019 @11:39AM
from the ask-hn dept.

HN, how do you deal with large (5TB+) backups that requires encryption to a remote location? We want to use S3 glacier given the reasonable pricing but we need to encrypt the data with a private key in house. Any solutions?

Re:Open source is illegal? on Thursday September 01, 2011 @03:19AM (#2948980)
Any of the thousands of linux contributors has the every right to sue you if you are redistributing his code without his written permission (remember, GPL is invalid in law regards in SVK). I don't think it's very sane to trust the copyright holders' good mood to not sue you when you are infringing his copyrights - and yes, you are infringing it if you don't have his signed agreement, that's the law and no matter you write and call a license you cannot out-rule that.

In addition, corporations are owning part of that copyright too - if you look at software patents war, it clearly shows what tools are to be used against the competition.

I'm not sure if I understand your last sentence.

Slovakia is a shorted name for Slovak Republic. Both are acceptable.
