Why ?
The SoC contract is in between Google and the student : the project
isn't linked to the student directly imo...

You^w we shouldn't do any unfair discrimination; It's up to french people
not to apply to "forbidden" jobs ;) Generally speaking it's the
applicant's responsibility to respect local laws.

Filesharing tools not implementing digital right managment systems...
iPod,iStore,iWhatever things are still legal :/ and their authors are
still allowed to get money from it.

Today is a sad day for me :(
