I asked my wife (she is a lawyer in japan) and she told me it wasn't  
illegal either in japan or in international laws (I cannot tell for  
any particular country, but this is "general").

It's only illegal if there is images, insulting expressions or  
incitations.

She suggested to create a policy for the libsdl website, which  
clearly states what can be added to the list or not.

She also encouraged to categorize websites, as simple as possible,  
like "suited for everybody" and "be warned, this can hurt your  
sensibility".

At last, she told me the best solution (speaking of the law) was to  
totally remove the listing and encourage a community like freshmeat  
to create an SDL section. Thus keeping SDL staff (hello ryan:) ) free  
of any work or "risk".
