>>> Truecrypt seems to pretty nice, but I suggest that you look at the license before you use it (it seems to have some clauses that e.g. prevent it from being accepted in Debian).

You probably mean the clause that requires derived works to carry a different name. This clause is also in the PHP license, Apache license, they're both in Debian. We all know that Firefox requires that too, but Debian makes fuss about it. You need to understand that it's free software, not free brand.
