How do you decide the country?

E.g. Opera browser is headquartered in Norway, but the Opera company that develops the browser was bought by a Chinese billionaire a few years back.

I'd say, it's the country, that has a deciding influence on the development of a software. Because it sets the rules that the team has to follow. That should be mainly the country, where the responsible organisation has its seat.

Yeah I guess the country isn't enough on it's own. It's worth knowing when something is owned by some billionaire regardless of what country it is.
