I remember the Free Software Foundation (who own the Linux kernal copyright) were getting annoyed at Google because they were slow at releasing AOSP. I don't know what the situation is currently however.

And looking at the chart, the Free Software Foundation is a non-profit based in the USA, and theoretically subject to US sanctions laws.

But if it ever came down to that, would the Free Software Foundation transfer ownership of the Linux copyright to an non-US entity?

And even if it did so, would it have more than 25% US content? Based on this old 2012 analysis and what has probably happened since, I think it is probably a yes. Although we won't know until someone crunches the numbers.

• US treasury secretary puts ball back in Beijing’s court, saying Washington prepared to ‘move forward’ as long as China accepts its terms
• Official tweeted earlier about ‘candid’ trade discussion with Yi Gang, head of China’s central bank

US President Donald Trump has no qualms about introducing more tariffs on Chinese imports if no progress is made on the stalled negotiations when he meets Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Sunday.

Speaking to CNBC at the end of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Fukuoka, Japan, the official suggested the ball was now firmly back in Beijing’s court.

“If China wants to move forward with the deal, we’re prepared to move forward on the terms we’ve done,” he said.

“If China doesn’t want to move forward, then President Trump is perfectly happy to move forward with tariffs to rebalance the relationship.”

Mnuchin said earlier on Twitter that he had had a “candid” discussion about trade with China’s central bank governor Yi Gang on the sidelines of the finance summit. That was the first face-to-face meeting of senior officials from the US and China since trade negotiations faltered last month.

“Had constructive meeting with PBOC [People’s Bank of China] Governor Yi Gang, during which we had a candid discussion on trade issues,” he said in a tweet alongside a photograph of the two men shaking hands.

The PBOC later published a short notice on its website saying the two officials exchanged views on global financial conditions, G20 affairs and topics of mutual concern.

Mnuchin said on Saturday that his meeting with Yi would cover only routine trade issues unrelated to the stalled negotiations.

The “next important meeting” on that matter would not happen until Trump and Xi got together at the G20 leaders summit in Osaka on June 28-29, he said.

Also on Saturday, the treasury secretary, who together with US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer has led the US side in its trade war negotiations with China, said an agreement to resolve the dispute was 90 per cent complete and that the “US is prepared to negotiate to reach a historic deal”.

If China wanted to resume the negotiations from where the two sides had left off in early May, the US was ready to engage, he said.

In the meantime, the US trade representative’s office is reviewing Trump’s plan to extend punitive tariffs to the

worth of Chinese goods that have so far escaped such duties.
The president earlier delivered on his threat to more than double the tariffs on US$200 billion worth of imports from China to 25 per cent, and has effectively banned US companies from selling components and software to Chinese telecoms giant Huawei.

Mnuchin said earlier that the United States wanted free, fair and balanced trade with China as a way to close the huge trading gap between the two countries.

Finance chiefs at the G20 meeting are expected later on Sunday to adopt a communique saying trade and geopolitical tensions had “

”, according to sources quoted by Reuters.
The communique will say also that the G20 leaders “will continue to address these risks and stand ready to take further action”, and that the finance chiefs “reaffirm our leaders’ conclusion on trade at the Buenos Aires summit”, the report said.

However, the final version of the statement would not include an earlier passage that said there was a “pressing need” to resolve the tensions.

But what difference does it make?

Unless Trump backs down at G20, nothing will change. He's just going about wondering if China and Xi will change mind. No, it won't happen. Why doesn't Trump get it?
