I find this whole discussion a mystery unless Swedish laws are radically
different from those of many countries. Who is preventing the SSDF from
publishing their results? Ossi Weiner? Millenium? The 'user-agreement'??? To my
knowledge the user-agreement is not above the law (though perhaps it is in
Sweden, I don't know) so that even if I signed it in blood, it would be
unenforceable as it has no legal power. It could just as well demand that I
paint my hair blue for the next 10 years, so what?
