In USA, where I live, a recent Supreme Court decision is that a Corporation has more standing Law than a Human if the Human is a female. In USA, things are very strange, by standards of Europe. More like what Lisi describes in Australia, but without a living, human Sovereign person. But I really don't think Microsoft has much interest in a take-over of Debian. It would be more difficult than running Ukraine, IMHO. ;) -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
