Gal Mor from ynet continues to bring the gospel of free software to
the masses (or at least, to ynet readers), with his new article,
http://www.ynet.co.il/home/0,7340,L-745-2653760,00.html
titled "On Piracy and Open Source".
He described the fallacy of statements like "13 billion dollars were lost
last year due to piracy", and explains how for many users, such as business
users in developing countries, buying expensive software is not even an
option, and not in the best interest of their country; He then continues to
explain why free software is an option for these people - a good option.
P.S. I tried announcing this in Whatsup, but entering bidi (hebrew text
plus links) on the site was all but impossible (and very confusing!), so I
gave up :(
