Why do you think I feel that way?
And still, if the Internet was created in another country, under the
Defence Ministry, I have my doubts it would have ended with the
general public. I gave the example of Bulgaria, because I know the
military system there. Perhaps we, being from Europe, are not
thinking in the commerce world as much as the Americans; at the same
time many of their military projects have ended up being used by the
general public; the Internet being just one, probably the best example.
I don't admire the US military, but I think the people who made the
Internet possible - whether by creating it, or by standardizing it,
or by opening the code, or - you name it - deserve some credits, even
if they are Americans. And, by the way, wasn't Tim Berners-Lee an
English? So, how come that today, when we are all using the Internet,
we tend to forget about all these, and about the OPEN NATURE of the Internet?
