Without a platform, there's distributed "ownership"—cathedral-and-bazaar style—so people can't tell if it's European or not, even though the origins are often very much European. Ownership itself seems to be the lens that matters most: if no single entity can claim it, it doesn't get counted, regardless of where it actually came from.
