Hi!

There was an article on slashdot about DMCA and the latest Changelog of the 
linux kernel:
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/16/1146212&mode=thread&tid=153
They say that Changelogs of the latest Linux-Kernels are available to non-US 
residents at: http://www.thefreeworld.net/non-US/
