That's the same company twice, Apache which was just another standard implementation of httpd (the cern thing) and one company that isn't and wasnt relevant outside of the us and surely isn't known as tech driver around here (Yahoo)
Actually a great summary of why the world does not actually blindly thinks USA! When they think about tech advancements
Apache was quickly spun off from its NCSA roots to become its own thing. There's a lot of history here that you're twisting around or ignoring. I'm not even American but, while lots of other countries made their own contributions, it's insane to argue that networked computing would have advanced anything like it did without the US's innovations borne of their (former) attitude of experimentation and exploration.
