Sorry, I didn't intend to put words in your mouth. I had to be more careful on this and I wasn't. What I remember is from your interview that Connie posted in her message of congratulation on merger of FarsiWeb and Persian Computing.
I'm afraid I didn't save a copy and I have to dig-in to find it again. From what I remember, you were saying that the lack of copyright protection had a harmful effect in popularizing Linux in Iran because they can get copyrighted commercial (MS) softwares for free anyway.
Now, if this isn't yours or it's misinterpreted, by all means I retract my comment. The point I was making didn't need to involve you and it was just a careless formulation of the idea on my part.

because Iran didn't sign the copyright treaty.
I can't recall saying that anywhere. Reference?
But I don't understand what stops users in Iran to use fonts and softwares that support properly their own language!
1) Such fonts didn't exist until very recently. 2) The users are not well-informed. 3) The vendors propage misinformation.
