Luckely KDE as a community is a mindset that both USA based KDE hackers and 
people from other regions in the world share, that mindset and what we have 
accomplished in all this time is what I am concerned about.

The 'American KDE developers' are each just as important as European ones, or
asian or australian ones, but that is not the point.

Gandhi cared more for his believes then for the feeling of being accepted, be
believed in his opinion more then (m)any of us will ever do.

Putting his quote in your signature makes me believe that you will see the points
Alan and others are making, the DMCA and many other things happening in politics
today (yes, in your country as well) are a threath to what I feel the KDE mindset
brings us.

Thanx for reading.
