We didn't. We make Privoxy available for download, but we don't go + around installing it on other people's systems behind their back. + If you discover Privoxy running on your system and are sure you didn't + install it yourself, somebody else did. You may not even be running + the real Privoxy, but maybe something else that only pretends to be + Privoxy, or maybe something that is based on the real Privoxy, + but has been modified.
Lately there have been reports of problems with some kind of + Privoxy versions that come preinstalled on some Netbooks. + Some of the problems described are inconsistent with the behaviour + of official Privoxy versions, which suggests that the preinstalled + software may contain vendor modifications that we don't know about + and thus can't debug.
Privoxy's license allows vendor + modifications, but the vendor has to comply with the license, + which involves informing the user about the changes and to make + the changes available under the same license as Privoxy itself.
If you are having trouble with a modified Privoxy version, + please try to talk to whoever made the modifications before + reporting the problem to us. Please also try to convince + whoever made the modifications to talk to us. If you think + somebody gave you a modified Privoxy version without complying + to the license, please let us know.
