Sometimes, we can be proud to be french ;-) For interoperability purpose, "reverse engineering is a legal practice, and that the distribution of software using a protocol found in this way is not illegal"

There are many reasons to be proud to be French, but since the French law is just an implementation of an EU directive this is hardly one of them.

I have no problems with your country. Any country that ties traffic infractions to income is fine with me. I heard most of your schooling is free to? The French have a lot we(USA) should look into.

There's no such thing in France, maybe you're mistaken with some Nordic countries? Edit : I was talking about the traffic fines. Source : I'm French, which may explain my broken English.

Frankly, I never understood why anyone should be proud because they happen to be of a certain nationality.
