| Did the drafters of Australia's new Net censorship legislation ever
| imagine that their rules might ban Linux? After all, the Linux 
| source code has quite a few instances of the word "fuck" 
| sprinkled throughout, mostly as commentary about problems 
| with software. Can an operating system be considered unsuitable
| for minors?
| Using grep -- the powerful Unix search command -- to go through
| a recent version of Linux, I came up with some comment lines 
| and error messages that were clearly intended as the sort of 
| coarse humor engineers of all sorts engage in. 

HTH, J"o!
