Hi, I had mailed to linux-mag.com <http://linux-mag.com> about the issue of M$ ad on their site spreading "Get The Facts" propaganda.Here is their response:
>Dear Mr. Prabhakar, >How, in a semi-free society, can we deny the right of one company to buy >advertising space from us but not others? We have no policy enabling us to >censor advertisers, except when they break the law (fraud, libel, lewd >solicitations, etc). Microsoft wants to put out a message of its alternative >solutions to the open source community, and they've chosen our >well-respected and well-trafficked site to do so. >Personally, I think will prove to be a waste of time, as your note reveals. >Think of it as a sign of the pressure that Microsoft and all makers of >proprietary software are feeling because of the relentless momentum behind >open source, open standard solutions. And if their money helps keep us in >business producing an information resource valued by the Linux community we >serve, isn't that a good for all of us? >If I may ask, are you a subscriber to our publication? Are you too helping >to keep us in business? I would be glad to think so. >Regards, >Robert Wells, Ph.D. >VP, Business Development >Linux Magazine Regards nipra "Live Life Ethically" www.gnu.org/philosophy <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy> _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
