If software patents are allowed then it would probably be illegal to implement csa without a licence, OTOH if they aren't it should be perfectly legal to implement csa any way you like. Of course in the former case most of vdr would be illegal anyway....and in the latter softcsa should be a core feature of vdr insted of an ostracized one. IANAL anyway so don't take my words as if I were one. Bye -- - Yo tambi?n quiero una Europa libre de Patentes de Software - - I want a Software Patents Free Europe too!
