I was thinking more like as if I was an NRI than a Canadian, even though I'm not Indian in any way at all. I worry more about how Canada treats majority world countries than how the USA may treat Canada. The main difference between Canada and the USA as far as the FLOSS community is concerned is the different laws on crypto export. This is why OpenBSD.org and FreeSWAN.org are both Canadian, even though major funding still comes from the USA. http://www.openbsd.org/crypto.html http://www.freeswan.org/history.html --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> Any 'hardware assist' for communications, whether it be eye-glasses, VCR's, or personal computers, must be under the control of the citizen and not a third party. -- http://www.flora.ca/russell/ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
