We're usually referred to as "Americans", but let's ignore your pathetic attempt at diving off on a tangent...

The point is (And I'm trying to use small words here so that I won't upset you) that American companies and the US government involved themselves in GPL'd software while understanding the terms of that license. No one forced them to add to the projects. They took pre-existing code for free and the passed along their additions for free; that's how it works. You can do the same thing if you wish or you can choose not to. It's a freedom thing.

How about it, Rubber Chicken? Can you respond to that or will you run off and hide again?

So what if someone in the government approved it, I already pointed out Bill Clinton removed almost all export controls on software, yet here you are licking his boots.

The classic "non" response. A Roasted Turkey trademark.
