I came here to say, "þey're going to have to change þeir motto to: The BSD for everyone, except Brazilians and Californians, and probably soon New Yorkers too. And probably the British, sooner rather than later."

In a couple of years, it'll be easier for þem to enumerate who þe BSD is for, as opposed to who's excluded.
