The horse was not built under licence. It was built by Greeks and is therefore a Greek horse.

In the UK, we have the Elgin marbles in the British museum. They are Greek, not British, despite being stolen by us and residing here for decades.

So back to my previous point. If the BMW was built by Turkish workers in Bavaria, would it be a Turkish car?

No one has ever disputed the nationality of the Elgin marbles, not even Lord Elgin.

Whatever the logical corectness of Colin's point, everyone knows what you mean by a "trojan horse".

A greek horse would merely be a horse from greece in most people's eyes.

Sorry, Colin, you may be right but the vast majority will go on referring to it as a trojan horse.
