Sorry I can't read French .. can you determine WHICH software it
is talking about?
Does it mean (a) made available on a Web Server hosted in France?
In which case .. just use a server in some other place, as Debian
once did -- nonUSA server for some stuff. Sourceforge comes to mind ..
If it means (b) produced by a French Citizen then it is rubbish,
since it doesn't take into account collaborative efforts.
