  Hello,

  The Debian GNU/Linux distribution (and the GPL) on which Corel
  Linux is based has no such requirements (that the end user be 18
  years of age).  Therefore Corel is itself BREAKING the license
  that allows them to modidy and redistribute GPLed code.
  
  Please have the decency to remove this notice before it winds up
  on Slashdot, or worse, before code authors make you do so.
