Probably patent issues.

But systemRescueCD is a *really* handy tool - a 100 MB bootable cd with
linux on it, and the tools qt_partition_something (the partition magic
clone. I like it better than the original :) ), and a whole lot of
others - including tools to reset windows passwords and clamav. Really
great tool for:
- Fixing partitions (for installing Linux as Dual-boot, or for some
other reasons)
- Repairing "broken" PC's, whether they are Linux og Windows (and yes it
does Captive NTFS).
