Disclosing the OS family the user is running is hardly a threat to privacy in my opinion. Besides, isn't it deceptively advertising the dominance of a non-free OS? Doesn't sound quite GNU to me... -- Pierre Neidhardt --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlr4H9EACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH9wSgf/eGUWr9U650SFLb/K6PDyJFHMZKpiWGLusCtZr6upSe3KdIBdnaVeCJpk 6NmzaQqLoaN1/iLB2ddIKDb8pvBKqg3QrVw5SL5/5/Ud0OQQzyl4+ovXb0f3Qt07 yJFHDeKHS1aowfxwUcbdxIpFFStapA7WmViPHooVtpjbzI8aG1VGxTzMMg+gyLma rFHkQj3Rnu2mPfh+8NDLmElyBZID/vcvP2LeAWc24XnnOHmJN5nS+JJ4AiXf7ljT x243YcXMPvJenwXONhMRbVRv30iJIhtBc0VdSGtw+Mgc2m86ciqeSAv3+RW0+Fq6 wgY2XwGBe5fEGrzPShRRsSwDWSxp1Q== =6K4v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
