But the insidious thing about Palladium (as I understand it) is that it=20
needs TCPA hardware to run and increasingly TCPA compliant hardware is=20
finding it way onto the streets.  That means if you update any=20
component of your PC it could be building a TCPA architecture.

Palladium and TCPA COULD (and I stress *could*) make it irrelevant.

Does anybody know the legal basis of the GPL in the UK and has it ever=20
been tested in Court?
