Yes, you are wrong, free from USG ties is being free from
application of US jurisdiction, which more significant part has not
changed at all, unless of course USG plans to give away that as
well, which would be really really appreciated... Any idea if that
is planned? <br>

McTim, I'd be interested in knowing why exactly you see this
as being "a very large step".<br>
<br>
In practical terms, what do you see as the significant and
important changes this will lead to?<span class="HOEnZb"><font
