And the 1.5 billion Muslims the USA is currently pissing off something rotten. I take Neale's point that this discussion doesn't really belong here, and so I'll stop this aspect of it. But there is great relevance in the fact that there are over 6 billion people on the planet who are qualified - by virtue of them being Homo Sapiens - to take part in Open Source efforts. Only a relatively tiny (although to date pervasively active) proportion of those people have any allegiance to the US Constitution or legal framework. This thing is off and running. Genies and bottles. And any action taken in US courts by anyone is just noise. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803
