In the Free World but not in the USofA.
Around my ways we even have Freedom of Information!
After clicking on "More info" for some of the ones I don't know, I see "License: Unknown" and "Updates: Unknown". Basically, I am given the option to install software for which I have no idea what the license is.

In France ENCRYPTION IS ILLEGAL, to the point that there is a special version of Windows there that disables encryption.
Oh really?
Hint, you are delusional.
Why do Europeans have a tendency of making fools of themselves trying to look superior to the USA? (And no, i'm neither north american nor european)
It looks like you don't need to be either to be a fool...
You won the price
Sheet stuff is sold in multiples of 30 cm, same for lengths.
A 2x4" is sold as 44x94 mm. because that is the actual size.
I've never seen this conversion as problematic.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
