Anyway. Another triviality we need to address are export restrictions. Due to formal reasons OSGeo was required to incorporate[4].

Or it could have been Switzerland, one of the most neutral (soccer looser) nations or it could have been Canada
Many shipping companies have their ships registered under a "flag of convenience". Should OSGeo consider setting sail in that direction? Are there practical matters (e.g. wording in the foundation's charter or letters of incorporation) that preclude OSGeo from being incorporated in multiple jurisdictions? -- Dave Patton CIS Canadian Information Systems Victoria, B.C.
