piracy and open source software
09Jun06
I’m sure a good number of us have seen the ads in the local dailies over the last couple of days concerning software compliance and anti-piracy.
Seems that Micro$oft (and the other smaller software vendors) have started to pull weight..
I think it’s a good opportunity for Open Source CompaniesSoftware. Paying 40k KES for M$ Office when there is OpenOffice around is not good small and medium sized business and for the Kenyan economy.
