Yep. That's what they taught us in skewl.

"The Statue of Liberty National Monument officially celebrated her 100th
birthday on October 28, 1986. The people of France gave the Statue to
the people of the United States over one hundred years ago in
recognition of the friendship established during the American
Revolution. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has grown to include
freedom and democracy as well as this international friendship."

Kind of ironic, given our present situation...  :(

> Was it a fair swap for software patents, etc.?

I dunno: i got chicken pox while i was in the statue...

Actually, it's quite interesting to walk around inside, if building
structure interests you at all.
