That's exactly the point now, isn't it? Richard Smith is in the US. Benno is in Italy. [others maybe] What would be the consequences for Benno coding against US patents? (assuming EU stays in the line for a while) And for Richard contributing? And for all of them, when source code is released? What could happen? my 2 cent, tobias.
