Matrix isn’t US at all; it’s a UK Non Profit.

Element is also UK headquartered, albeit with French/German/US subsidiaries when selling to those respective governments. BWI buy via France because when we started working with them we didn’t have a German legal entity yet.



It appears to have been started by Americans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdocs

Who perhaps chose the UK in an effort to distance themselves from the US

As I said, I see now my assumption was wrong


Amdocs is actually Israeli company


- Headquarters in Missouri

- Neither 'Hodgson' or 'Le Pape' sound Israeli

- Likely they went to American universities

etc


Amdocs is Israeli company. "Headquarters" are in Missouri. go through wiki article.

here is discussion about start of matrix: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45495134


Obviously, I am not disputing that. Has nothing to do with my three points above.
