Additionally, unlike back then, Nemetschek/Graphisoft is now an international company, so as a company (and as company employees, and company intelligence) they are beyond the politics of any individual country. They will operate wherever they find they can better flourish. We will all be gone, today's politicians and politics will be gone, and AC will still be around.
