I was reading through a Infoworld article and they get
into a kernel patch that redhat released for some
security issue.....but you can't read the release notes
because it may be a breach of the DMCA. So what does
one do? Just patch w/o reading the notes? Couldn't
the descriptiveness of the notes be vague enough to
give those wanting to patch their kernels some
information. Here's the site I went to to see the
notes but I decided I didn't want to go to jail for 5
years and pay a fine of $500,000.
