You do realise that just because there aren't software patents in other countries now, that won't always be the case, right? You do realise that here in the UK and EU there are almost constant attempts to introduce software patents for more and more cases, right? You do realise that copyright laws apply here, and that proprietary software is proprietary where ever you are in the world, right? And that all this means that the work that Fedora does, promoting free and open alternatives is very important for everyone in the whole world? And that people working on this project have signed up under those terms and that we all contribute under those terms, to change things and make them better for all? Maybe you don't care about freedom...I know I do, and that's one of the number one reasons why I choose Fedora. Not forgetting the fact that it's leading the free software world in many technical aspects too. But that's just me. /me looks guilty for taking the flame bait :S Jon
