I have been thinking about the relationship between privacy and the
GNU project.  The traditional issues of privacy concern the use of
search and seize tactics without warrants.  This is not an issue that
is directly addressed by the GNU project, whos primary interest is to
allow us to share information between ourselves without restriction.

GNU is not an attempt to pry into people's private lives.  However, it
is not supportive of tactics which require individuals to hide
information from others because of special deals.  

Information about a person's relationships can be used for abusive
purposes.  However, it is sometimes those relationships that are the
abuse.

The issue of privacy is by nor means simple.  Although it is not
central to the GNU project, it is certainly a strongly related issue.

I am not an official representative of the GNU project.  -David-
