Your "non-US/non-free" and "non-US" will include completely different things and many people will confuse them. And your "non-US" doesn't really has anything to do with the US. Your policy change implies that even a program that's only patented in let's say Germany but not in the USA will have to go to "non-US". > Wichert. cu, Adrian -- A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mahatma Ghandi
