I don't think that's really fair.   I've been using BSD in the UK
since 1983, and it has had many contributions and bug fixes from
outside the US.

Of course, it would have better without the Australians, who gave us
quotas, and Jan-Simon Pendry from Imperial College, who gave us the
automounter.  [Note for the humour impaired: :-)]
