    Country of origin is a bit of a fuzzy concept when we talk about Linux. For example, Linux Mint (Ireland) is based on Ubuntu (UK), which is based on Debian (Global, but founded by American). So is Linux Mint Irish, British, Global or American? Also, every Linux distribution comes with software that has been written by numerous people all around the world.

      While I generally agree, one should beware if the project is backed/owned by a company, foundation or somesuch, as it would be legally-bound to their country’s laws.

      Doesn’t that make it better, that we have an operating system unattached to any particular geographical area?
