    How do you decide the country?

    E.g. Opera browser is headquartered in Norway, but the Opera company that develops the browser was bought by a Chinese billionaire a few years back.

      I’d say, it’s the country, that has a deciding influence on the development of a software. Because it sets the rules that the team has to follow. That should be mainly the country, where the responsible organisation has its seat.

        Yeah I guess the country isn’t enough on it’s own. It’s worth knowing when something is owned by some billionaire regardless of what country it is.

          Yes, maybe open vs. closed source is the better comparison. I will make one for this, too. But first I want to polish this one. I like the flags 😉

      Every category has an extra flag for lesser known/used options. But I happily add suggestions…

    Matrix is listed as USA? Can someone explain that?

    Also not listing OpenSuse? for shame.

        Exactly as the flag shows.

        Another one for open vs. closed source is on my ToDo-list.

      SUSE (the company backing the community-sponsored project) went public iirc, and is owned by the Swedish private equity firm EQT AB. That firm was considering to sell it.

      It has been edited/fixed already (fairly quickly)

        strange, or I was blinded by it being flanked by USAian flags (and the colours are the same.)

            Yes, it’s my project. But I didn’t change it, the flag was always the british one. I was a bit worried, but this time, I didn’t make a mistake.

              I didn’t see it initially, so I just assumed the other poster was correct (along with the other comments). Either way, it is undeniably correct now.

              Good luck with the project, I would guess that it is going to be huge to maintain.
