Re: gEDA-user: Copper-free area in footprint

I thought my hint about being a product and advertising was
self explanatory.
You think, that this is a cool device, because it won't be found.
If it's a product and get's advertised, every reasonable bike thieve
will know about and look for it.
Either it's in an accessible place and flys into the next garbage bin
after 30 seconds, or you have to cut your cool carbon frames appart
to install it in place where a simple iron rod can't incapacitate it.

Just my 2 Cents, Armin
