What a zany reversal... It's okay for OS distributors, but it's not okay for
us! Wacky. :-) Given that rather odd reversal, I don't think we have a huge
problem here - 'GNOME' itself is currently distributed from the US, and our
distributors are generally OS vendors. Hmm, and even if we ship LiveCDs,
they still come with an OS. ;-)

You guys are weird. ;-)
