Why?  While I wouldn't put the terms exactly the way Marc did, I
_would_ say that the US approach to "intellectual property" in
software is sufficiently reaching as to qualify in the "over"
category.  Canada's rules are bad enough, but having worked under
both regimes, I'm moderately convinced that having a non-US "home
base" for CVS is a good idea.
