I don't think there's any point served by further argument. It's not just a simple question of laws - oh how simple life will be if the only thing I have to worry about when I envision a "successful" FreeBSD Project are the local laws I'm living under. Far more important are the logistical details of convening meetings, having a phone and fax (and someone to deal with them), an address to have things delivered to and possibly disseminated again as quickly as possible. If it were my goal to build some silly paper organization over in Europe, spending Esprit money and churning out endless documents, I'd DO THAT, Julian! But that's not what I'm into at all. Where the machines are sited and the quality/reliability of the Internet connection they can have has a major impact in the day-to-day fortunes of an active project - one whos' developers are active much of the day actually writing code, making phone calls, constantly trying to extend the horizons of the system. Right now, that's easist from here and so it's here we're going to stay. Your arguments about crypto aren't going to be any less valid if the company is sited in Outer Mongolia - they still won't be able to distribute the crypto code from one the the primary distribution points in the world (the U.S.!). Hey, when Germany goes T3, call me.. :-) Jordan
