This is ludicrous.  IMHO it all started when we decided that ideas are
things to own.

I clicked right through, lied the whole way about where I'm from. My
rational is I am in charge of machines. I need to be fully informed of
what I am installing and why. 

I see this is a publicity stunt and a political ploy to slap DMCA in the
groin (well deserved, I'll add). As such, the source code for kernels
_without_ the patch will also be subject to DMCA regulations.

What a load of crap.
