[wplug] Printer tracking dots

[Justin Smith]

Even if it's been around for years, how many people actually know about it? 
Nobody I've talked to so far has known about this.

You're correct that the tracking dots were /designed/ as an anti-
counterfeiting measure, but there are no legal restrictions on what the 
tracking dots can be used for. And even if there were legal restrictions, I'm 
sure there would be plenty of exceptions for "national security" and such.

This remains an excellent example of why open source matters: so that 
users can control their products and not the other way around.
