Truecrypt site hacked?

[Derek Trotter]

I wonder how a lawyer could sue if the people who own the license don't 
go along with the lawsuit.

It seems the solution would be for another group to look at any of the 
source code that has a questionable license and write their own code 
that does the same job.  Since the US is no longer a free country, they 
should be in other countries so the thugs here will have a harder time 
threatening or harassing them.
