[Committee-d] Anti-TC

[David Turner]

In our meeting Tuesday, Seth pointed out some of the problems with
trying to stop the creation of GPL-software-based systems that can
remote-attest generally.  I agree that this is impossible.

I don't think the goal of GPLv3 is to do this.  If individual people
want to set up their systems this way, they're free to do so.

The problem is when such a scheme is imposed on people.  So, the goal of
GPLv3 is to stop the distribution of such systems when they involve GPL
software. 

Does the current draft do this correctly?  If not, how can we write
something that says what we want it to say?
