Perhaps explaining what the Penguin Liberation Front is would be a good idea.

From the PLF site:

PLF is a packaging project dedicated to distributing software that cannot be included in Linux distributions for various reasons:

* software patents, prohibiting the use of abtract algorithms regardless of implementation
* corporate interest protection laws, such as DMCA in USA, and EUCD soon in Europa
* privacy restriction laws, such as strong cryptography prohibition in many countries

A lot of excellent free software falls under one of these different threats, and thus becomes illegal in various parts of the world. This actually restricts their distribution worlwide, making their use at least impractical, if not impossible, unless for experts. We don't resign to this situation however, and we provide first-class packages for all these endangered software. Wherever you are, there is always a PLF mirror near.
