The Europeans are clearly one of the leaders in the Open Source movement, though I believe that is also indicative of the more collaborative nature of businesses and business partnerships in Europe. Many cultures have a "all for me, nothing for anyone else and its all about me, me, me" business philosophy. That is certainly true on this side of the pond. BTW, I do hope to visit your country some day. I am keenly interested in (former) US citizens who fought during the Battle of Britain, as a point of historical interest. My son has a Spitfire model he can't wait to assemble. (Truly off point now.) apluscw
