Unless you change the settings manually for Google, it automatically reads the location i.e. country of your IP and defaults to that for your searches. This is of course very annoying for anyone who fluently speaks 2, 3, or more languages - habitually searching for the best keywords in the language from which they're expecting to view the results. Used to drive me nuts to search for stuff in english while in Germany ... only to receive a bunch of crap that didn't apply because a fraction of German/Austrian see more sites had what I was looking for, as opposed to USA/UK sites with tons more info...

I have no idea how that stuff with the licenses works. We've been saving ours because we plan on ripping loose the most incredible community that anyone's ever seen by the end of the year. Tons of prep work for that though before we actually get things going online. It'll be the world's largest freebie community, but kind 'a hard core and in your face too, to preserve freedom of speech and have tons of dialogue going with all walks and all cultures. Entertainment like movies, music, games, tools, etc. too of course. No porn though or gratuitous violence, too much of that garbage around as it is.
