No, Christianity has nothing to do with it. Nor does any other religion. Seperation of church and state, freedom of religion, remember? This is not the Religious States of Jesusland.
It's because of America's true religion: money. The church of ATM.
Maybe Jeanneney wants it instead to be a unipolar worldview dominated by the French language and French culture. They still seem to think they're a world power for some reason.
If his country came up with Google, then sure it's a case, but sorry they didn't. The best thing he can do is ignore it and not use it.
Of course he cannot force France and the EU to stop using Google, as that would violate their rights of freedom, which is somewhat more flexible than the United State's Bill of Rights lately.
Some could come along and take the BSD changes, incorporate into a closed project and then change things a little so things are not compatible the open project.
They were not inspired to use the name "Fedora" from Cornell/Virginia's project. I'm pretty sure they actually took the name from the "other" Fedora Project, fedora.us which was an "extras" repository project to supplement RedHat 7-9, and recieved RedHat sponsorship in exchange for running the entire "home version" distro of RedHat instead of just supplementing it. This was so RedHat could themselves focus solely on Enterprise (pay) software. The Fedora.us project is now located at fedoraproject.org although they still maintain their old URL. Interestingly, this Fedora Project is also run by a university, Hawaii in this case. In all cases I'd say they're the "real" Fedora Project, and that Cornell/Virginia's choice of names was just unlucky.
Many people studying for Linux certifications, mainly RedHat certification, requires access to using RedHat Enterprise Linux. A joe schmo IT professional has no "enterprise" uses for Enterprise Linux, just access to it so he can study for his certs and then be of actual use when hired by a company that pays for and uses Enterprise Linux.
So it all comes down to educational purproses. There's always a niche for free access when it comes to education.
(And for the record, many of the RedHat cert study books I've read actually point to White Box Enterprise Linux, but I guess now they'll have to reccomend CertOS.)
Are you Bill Gates? If so, when is Xbox Next coming out??

I wonder if this guy knows that SHAKE requires a 3-button mouse. It's the single-button mouse that it will not operate with.
Everyone, trade in your multi-button mice now, cuz the future is in roll-mat computers! Might as well trade in Linux too because only Mac users are the smart ones, despite getting confused over two buttons. Due to arrive in 4014, along with your own personal Rosie housebot.
Actually, it's gonna be the opposite. With Apple finally giving in to the cheap PC niche with the Mac mini, I'm quite sure they'll actually switch over to two-button before the end of the year too.
Oh and to the anonymous coward who seems to think that a touch-screen "roll-mat" computer can only respond to and understand the single-click, you probably have not used a Tablet PC before have you? Or are TabletPC and "Touch-Screen Roll-Mat" completely different technologies? And if so, wouldn't that make TabletPC more advanced, since it can somehow support multiple buttons? I don't think the future lies in less advanced technology.

OS X, anyone?
Did anyone think to check Stewie Griffin's Christmas stocking?
Microsoft will be the first console manufacturer to ship wireless pads as standard with its hardware
Does the CD-i not count as a game console? It shipped with wireless controllers standard. Albeit, they were IR, not WiFi or RF.
Oh please, PLEASE.... just one "In Soviet Russia..." joke. Please!!
All this technology yet we still can't get good video drivers or Airport Extreme support for Linux?
I thought there already was an asinine re-telling of I, Robot out already... called I, Robot the movie.
