That's true! With well-educated Europeans, sometimes the only way to
tell they're not native speakers is when they don't make a lot of the
grammar errors Americans generally do.
Europeans study the language carefully, we don't. I'm an exception,
because my mother was an English teacher. :-)

Almost any
small project can benefit from good technical writing.
There are more good programmers than good writers, and many of the
best are not native speakers of English, which remains the common
language for most free software development.
I'm also not a native speaker of English, but you won't notice it from
my writing :) in fact I make a living writing in English for native
speakers .
