"Crypto" has absolutely nothing to do with cryptography.  A lot more
with capitalism or with casinos, it depends on your exact viewpoint :-)

We want nothing at all to do with any of it (well, I don't, at least),
even if not all of it is directly against the rules, does not violate
acceptable use directly: it is just distasteful.

The cfarm is supposed to be used for developing (which includes testing
etc.) any software that is close enough to open source, anything that
benefits user freedom and all that goodness.  It is hard to see how any
klepto stuff will fit in with that, even if "technically" it is open
source.

OTOH, you cannot log in to your cfarm account at all without using some
strong(-ish) crypto, to start with.
