 find /mnt/fatty/music -type f -exec mv \{\} /mnt/fatty/music \;

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

The multiple human needs and desires that demand privacy among two or

cryptology wherever men thrive and wherever they write.
