Huh? It was my impression, that if you are in a country where computer
software cannot be patented, you are free to hand out free software that
is patented in another country to anybody that happens to walk by. If one
of those people would then ship that software to a country where that
software has been patented, it wouldn't be your responsibility, right?
Why would you have to ask for i.d.? And BTW, what is this DNC?
