A while ago when I was looking to add the IDEA cipher to GnuPG I ran into a web page which called the people at GNU "Polifreaks" for removing IDEA from GPG for patent issues. While I an not going to make judgements on who is right and who is wrong, I still needed to make this page to bring it back up because it seems that the page no longer exists.

The reason that this page must exist is because I used to search for the IDEA patch by typing in "polifreaks" into Google. Just in case anybody else had that habit, here's the replacement page.

Polifreaks. Heh.

Shouldn't that be 'Politifreaks'?
