Truecrypt is awesome, but their license[0] is a bit questionable. It's a
hybrid of a bunch of different licenses and has some interesting
distribution clauses. IANAL, so we definitely would want to run it by
fedora-legal-list if we hope to get truecrypt into Fedora. There has also
been some talk about this license in the Debian community:
