The translated letter from the Peruvian congressman is about 10 pages long, but it is a work of art. *Well* worth reading. In it, he tears apart Microsoft's opposition to the proposed law for the Peruvian government to use only free (as in speech) software.
Beautiful. luke ---- Free Software Law in Peruvian Congress Posted by michael on Saturday May 04, @06:16PM from the god-bless-the-grass dept. An Anonymous Coward writes "There is a story on oreillynet.com (http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1364) on the response by a Peruvian Congressman to Microsoft's letter opposing a proposed Free Software Law. Here's the translated letter (http://www.gnu.org.pe/resmseng.html) and this is the original (Spanish? http://www.gnu.org.pe/mscarta.html) letter that Microsoft submitted in response to the proposed law (Spanish? http://www.gnu.org.pe/proleyap.html). It's always cool to see governments trying to enact these kinds of laws and watch the Microsoft backlash against them :). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
