The problem is that there are literally no solutions in place for toilets in third world countries. So excrement is anywhere/everywhere. And since the classic western toilet is expensive and requires a lot of hookups/extras (treament facilties, running water, toilet paper, etc) they have been funding two projects. One is to build pit latrines and other facilities to contain it. The other is what to do with it when gathered.
> How is having Java in non-free any better than a wrapper package that installs Java for you?
It would be because, in my current understanding, with a wrapper the user would be individually agreeing to the licenses present in the program, rather than the distro explicitly or impliticitly doing it for them. IANAL though.
When children get old enough that they want to be scared, they don't go see a pirate vid about how it really was, they see "Alien" or the like. I think the effect is overrated at best.
Calling them pirates has never been targeted at scaring children. It has been targeted toward their parents or folks in the baby boomer generation who probably have a marked different view of pirate than you or I.
Have discussed percentage of various software being pirated.
Have weighed total cost of ownership versus economic means
Seriously, how much of this piracy is due to 150$+ software (Windows, Photoshop) vs the less than 150$ ones (Age of XX, Sims)? Are these estimates of people that were caught and therefore a selective [and biased sample set]. Also, it would be really handy to know what the per capita is for those countries that are the most offending.
So for example, it takes a US citizen (22k $/yr) 11 hours of labour to get 1 copy of Windows XP (@125$) while someone in Vietnam (300$/yr), on average, has to work 1000 hours.
Maybe there is a discount price in other countries....
