gomp,

Its funny how podcasters and commenters seem to have taken Redhat’s spin about “contributing value to the community” seriously, while to the rest of us the whole thing was obviously only about money (same as all the follow-ups from other parties… I would say “including Alma” but that would probably deserve its separate debate).

gomp,

The US have not signed the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, while Canada and most (all?) other western states have (Russia has not, BTW).

The peculiar stance of the US on this matter should not surprise since there are lots of international treaties that the US have not signed or ratified, including some that one might expect any “decent” nation to uphold [my opinion, of course], such as bans on anti-personnel mines and torture, the Kyoto protocol and many, many others treaties.

Notably, the US are the only nation that has yet to ratify the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child… 'nough said.
