Your comment is completely beside the point.

Well, if NoSE wants to pay lawyers to scan hundreds and thousands of=20
patents for whether or not KMail infringes on any one of them, so be=20
it. I doubt it. I for one lack the financial support needed for this,=20
and even if I didn't, I'd think of it as a waste of resources.

As I said, disclaimers such as those presented here can do more harm=20
than help. It's quite hard to convince a judge of their validity if=20
they disclaim stuff you knew beforehand. They raise the impression that=20
you only tried to cover your ass with them, not stand to them.

And that is exactly the case here. It's like distancing yourself from=20
warez sites and at the same time maintaining a warez link list.

systematically infecting other countries with this dangerous public
