Hi Julien,

So - I'd really like to talk to you on the phone about this; can you grab me on
IRC ? Secondly this is really normal software industry practice we're talking
about here for example:

http://dsc.sun.com/dev/gadc/technicalpublications/articles/archi18n.html
or
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/InternatAndLocaliz.html

be changed to be more culturally appropriate."

So - I share your concern: that it is easy to go too far in this sort of thing
- you give some examples of going too far :-) If we were adding clauses to our
license to demand that all female users of the software do not use it for
business use [ trying to make up some ridiculous pseudo-cultural stipulation
here ] - then I'd be outraged along with you :-) in this case I couldn't care
less. Can you even make your LibreOffice show that dog picture ? [ it takes
quite some skill ].

Anyhow - I'd like to talk interactively on this - bugzilla is not the best
place I feel.

ATB.
