This has been available for a long time.
The important question is why in the world would you spam this list with yet more off-topic garbage? The signal to noise ratio has gone to the dogs over the past 9 months and what used to be a good and viable source for technical information is now a morass of noise more often than not - please don't add to it.

More importantly the address he posted is a law firm and as such cannot really make any sort of guarantees. At best this is false advertising and at worst it's an outright scam.

I have subscribed to several English law mailing lists for several years to gain an insight in law changes and case law decisions. Case law in English legal terms means court interpretations and hence decisions which effectively modify the law (in England that is statues and statutory instruments also known as primary and secondary legislation).
I saw this item and thought it might possibly interest readers because of its international scope and computer connection. Because the law firm holds the copyright on reproduction I summarised the content and cited the source, as is common in legal matters.
Please note I omitted the contact details for the firm.
Please also note I have no commercial interests in the firm.
Please additionally note I thought, mistakenly it appears, I was being helpful and have taken notice of the objections.

Please note, this is a mailing list for people to get help with CentOS. Nothing else.
Most people here are old enough to figure out how to get their own news.

And even more are mature enough not to have to get defensive and try to get the last word in on every thread they are part of. In my opinion you could learn something from such people.

I was merely replying to the gentleman's concern.
Some words pop into my mind and this is my last posting on this increasingly tedious thread ....... I hope others will desist.
"Much of what looks like rudeness in hacker circles is not intended to give offense. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bullshit communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy."
