The idea that there is this "heavy handedness" is a bit silly when the entire GPL is based on the idea that we impose limits on developers. I don't have the exact quote but he's written that the reciprocal nature of the

I've just switched over to using the Yubikey Neo, so I'd love to chime in here. My first and primary use of my key is that I use HMAC hashing on the Yubikey to unlock my KeepPassCX database. This solution works very well for me be
