[ILUG-Cochin.org] 2003 Microsoft Leaked Memo

[Sameer Mohamed Thahir]

Hello All

I guess we can finish of this thread with this

"It's not the Gates, it's the bars"

<quote>... But Gates didn't invent proprietary software, and thousands 
of other companies do the same thing. It's wrong, no matter who does it.
Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, and the rest, offer you software that gives 
them power over you. A change in executives or companies is not important.
What we need to change is this system. That's what the free software 
movement is all about. "Free" refers to freedom: we write and publish 
software that users
are free to share and modify. We do this systematically, for freedom's 
sake; some of us paid, many as volunteers. We already have complete free 
operating systems,
including GNU/Linux. Our aim is to deliver a complete range of useful 
free software, so that no computer user will be tempted to cede her 
freedom to get software.
