My personal problem with this: legal safety is not everything. The KDE
project also has "moral" principles. If a software is obviously only used
for illegal activities in the real world some made "legal usecases" don't
really make much difference. It's simply dishonest if the real spirit is
hidden behind some pseudo-legality arguments.
