if you look at the statistics there are more Apache webserver than IIS in the world today… so you are wong asking who might use Apache?
Linux is 10 years behind Windows… but see what software like Ubuntu can do in 5 years to come ?
That’s why IIPA is so worried about FOSS move in the emerging countries.

what is IIPA up to with its report complaining that Indonesian government encourage the use of FOSS ?
dont they know by using FOSS we can be legal at affordable cost and alternative to piracy software ?

Also the report encouraging Indonesian government(GOI) to reconsider the cancelled MOU between GOI and Microsoft because the MOU is strange.. its an MOU but the addendum looks like an invoice with quantity, schedule of implementations for the government to purchase licenses ?

This seems not the juridictions of USTR and interfering with domestic affair of other country and government procurement ?

Uncle B, don’t drag capitalism into this. I am a capitalist and yet I, just like every other (true) libertarian, want to abolish everything that has to do with “intellectual property”.

Free software if _free_. Libertarianism promotes individual freedom. So I disagree with the picture of open source ~ socialism or communism. Socialism is like a boss who does not allow you to put your software under the BSD license (or any other free license alike) but rather takes the code and distributes it as _he_ likes. Communism is when he takes the code and distributes it to everybody but only give people a piece of the code so that none is satisfied.

It’s perhaps an amusing irony that GNU successfully uses the system to limit the excesses of the system.

I see that you’re still in Japan. And doing well.
