From Guardian:
“The Indonesian government’s policy… simply weakens the software industry and undermines its long-term competitiveness by creating an artificial preference for companies offering open source software and related services, even as it denies many legitimate companies access to the government market.
Rather than fostering a system that will allow users to benefit from the best solution available in the market, irrespective of the development model, it encourages a mindset that does not give due consideration to the value to intellectual creations.
As such, it fails to build respect for intellectual property rights and also limits the ability of government or public-sector customers (e.g., State-owned enterprise) to choose the best solutions.”
I wonder how much time will it take when GNU, Linux foundation, *BSD, and other organizations will become terrorist organizations. And it is also strange that these guys said nothing about France and Germany, Sweden and some US states that promote FOSS. We clearly need the change of that old generation of non-thinkers.
