hello Americans there is a whole world out there so stop hijacking words and understand that free software is a global thing , the sooner you get it the better for everybody

And why do dumb fucks like you keep trying to read more into an anouncement than people are actually saying. What part of that anouncement states that they are a "world" protection or anything of the sort. Cause I shure as hell didn't read it. As for "free software" exclusively an American thing now ? I don know where the fuck you got this from but you might as post the link since it sure as hell wasn't he same article I read. The foundation was set up in the US to protect NPOs from Software Patents in the US. Quit trying to read more into it than is actually there. And quit assuming that no one in the US doesn't know about the rest of the world. As for you comments? You show equal ignorance by using "Americans" which applys to anyone in the western hemisphere seeing as how everyone there is in "the Americas". So stop wasting your breath.
