Warrant Canary

Lone Star Software Off-Site Warrant Canary

Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act, etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as library records. Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant, search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would materially affect the users of a service such as Lone Star Software.

Lone Star Software and its principals and employees will in fact comply with such warrants and their provisions for secrecy.

Lone Star Software will also make available, weekly, a "warrant canary" in the form of a cryptographically signed message containing the following:
- a declaration that, up to that point, no warrants have been served, nor have any searches or seizures taken place

The current message is here:
