Re: Novell Strips BitTorrent DHT Technology From openSUSE said by SirMeowmix_I :
I see this as a non-issue. Limitations imposed by distributions are easily circumvented by the power and intrinsic openness of Open Source software. Two issues:
1) This is not a limitation arbitrarily imposed by openSUSE. This was a legal determination based upon concerns over provisions of German law.
2)..."if BitTorrent indeed comes to rely more on trackerless torrents and DHT in the future, could BitTorrent clients potentially become a target for the entertainment industry?" |
