Well, you know, Mexico is on the same continent as the U.S. :-). Plus, Gnome, being a GNU project, could be seen as U.S.-controlled.

But you are right, I didn't have enough information about Gnome to make that statement. I still do believe though that the NIH syndrome applies more to Americans than Europeans. I'm a computer scientist and I see a lot of it when it comes to, e.g., referencing other people's work.

Anyway, we are awfully off-topic here :-).
