Free Software Law in Peruvian Congress

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the god-bless-the-grass dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes "There is a story on oreillynet.com on the response by a Peruvian Congressman to Microsoft's letter opposing a proposed Free Software Law. Here's the translated letter and this is the original letter that Microsoft submitted in response to the proposed law. It's always cool to see governments trying to enact these kinds of laws and watch the Microsoft backlash against them :)."

    For god's sake, do not mod this drivel up. The point's he's taking offence with are IN the letter we're talking about, and it is NOT saying that these things SHOULD be in the law, it is saying this is why MS's arguments are rather irrelevent. Read the material first!

    Sorry but I don't identify with MS and I identify even less with the Open Source movement. You have MS trying to use every illegal trick to destroy competition and you got the Open Source movement who'll make laws preventing the use of proprietary software. Sorry, but I just realised that both of them are a dictatorship and they're no good for me.
