NACI: Gov't of South Africa Pushes Open Source

GNU lover writes "National Advisory Council on Innovation in South Africa has issued a release concering the use of Open Source and the digital divide." The use of open source in the 3rd/2nd world is one way to get around licensing costs - at least more honest then pirating.

Let's hope they get a copy of the GNU2CanSpell spellchecker. It's obvious that the Slashdot editors didn't ;-)

MOSHOOD Mobutu Sese Seko

[Anonymous Coward]

MOSHOOD SEKO,
107 ADENUGA STREET,
ANTHONY VILLAGE,
LAGOS.

I am MOSHOOD Mobutu Sese Seko, son of the late
President Mobutu Sese Seko of Congo Democratic Republic former
Republic of Zaire presently there is a war going on in
my country and so my family members escaped to Morroco

while I am presently at Cotonou/Nigeria Border
monitoring events. Because of the present crises, my
environment is not conductive for investment and more
over, most of my fathers properties and account have
been frozen by the present government of Laurent
Kabila.

Now, I want to set up a business overseas and I have
about $50 Million united state dollars set aside for
this project, I decided to contact you to help me in
setting up a business, but would not want my name or
family name to be used.

I am prepared to give you 20% of the total sum if you
can assist me in claiming this fund from a security
volt in Europe where my father (Mobutu Sese Seko)
deposited this fund before he died.

Please, do contact me immediately for us to discuss.
As soon as I hear from you, and confirm your
assistance every documents regarding to the claiming
of this fund will be handed over to you as the
family's foreign partner.

Best regards,

MOSHOOD SEKO.
