@james the main reason for this project is to actually compare how
both sides are reporting the whole operation, how neighbours react and
how the west and the east view the operation. for instance there is a
piece that allegedly one of our warships has been burnt in a
coordinated 5 speedboat attack by shabaab, FOR CRYING OUT ALOUD do
these guys know the firepower these frigates have?

On Ushaidi, I would say that it is following the original principles of the Free Software Foundation and it should not compare itself to Open Source. The first and ONLY kenyan entity to do this. I salute Ushaidi and would use it any day, and if I improved it, I'd definately share it back. The rest are in full breach of Uhuru software ethics and practising proprietary standards. This should be illegal, and the setup of a GPL licensing policy body should investigate these for such practises. IMHO> :-)
