[ossig] Mahathir's comment on open source aircraft

[Dinesh Nair]

"That is the problem with the US. If you have any deal with them, they will 
use that as leverage to get more power. For example, they sold us airplanes 
without the source code. Without the source code, we can’t use the plane.

We spent huge sum of money buying airplanes that cannot be used because 
when you want to use it, you have to ask the Americans. They want to 
control us, how we use the plane; and even when we have finish using the 
plane, you cannot sell (it) unless they approve (the sale first). They are 
always putting in extra conditions even though there was no condition 
before. " - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
