Some would argue that it's just the free market doing it's thing,
and some entrepreneur is cashing in ;D. What's the name of that
self-contained, 'USB-stick' Thurnderbird and Firefox? I can't think of
the name right now. It would probably be really easy for Arrakis to add
this to his project. The one thing that's nice about VPM though is that
it is cross-platform and contains a few extra security features that
would be hard for a non-geek to configure. The reason I say this is
because there are many dedicated freedom activists in the US and around
the world that are just dying (sometimes literally) for something like
this, but don't have the technical know-how to self-implement.
Arrakis, do you need help with TorPark? If so, I'd be willing to chip
in, at least to a degree.
