That's a good question. From what I've heard software piracy there is illegal on the books, but in practice it's tolerated. A few years ago I read something in the Register about the Chinese government trying to promote a version of linux that was supposed to be customized for China.

I wouldn't touch if even if I could read Chinese. There's no telling how many security holes are in it and how many undocumented back doors are built in by design.

Does anyone on the list know anything about the status of Linux in China?

I wonder if linux is big in China?
