The problem here is that Whitehurst characterises it as a stance against the US
rather than PRO Independence, PRO control, PRO local labour. It's not a matter
which is associated with the States. It could be any other country... people
just want it to be theirs... they want to /own/ the code... it's not a matter
of America choosing one policy over another, software patent lunacy aside.
