But in order for the key to be in the kernel, it would have to be licensed, thus not it is not a circumvention and certainly not free software.
So you would hopefully have two versions of the kernel, a free software one and one to be boycotted at all costs. Or perhaps this will motivate people to complete Hurd, or Adam is right there is still FreeBSD.
We should change the name to NYFSS NY Free Software Scene Or NYGXS which is Gnu/linuX for now but may become Gnu and uniX Or NYGFS Gnu and Free Software scene.
