If the execs come from countries with authoritarian regimes that don't necessarily enjoy good relations with countries in which the GLP was developed and is enforceable, the execs may be worried about their OWN government revoking access to GPL'd software. I am not a foreign policy expert, except maybe of the armchair variety, so this is speculative in it's entirety. Not implausible, however, I feel. -- Znoteer Tenured Conspiracy Theorist [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank message to [email protected] To get help send a blank message to [email protected] To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
