Greens battle Microsoft | |

THE Greens have signalled they are willing to lend their political muscle to Democrat moves to introduce open source preference legislation. Greens hold key parliamentary seats in several states where the Democrats are introducing the Bills, and are politically sympathetic to laws that challenge the power of big business. Describing Microsoft founder Bill Gates as "a bit of a robber baron", NSW Greens MLC Lee Rhiannon warned the legislation would anger US trade lobby groups. | ||

I agree. Everything Government purchases should be free. Corporations should be required to provide free services to the Government. Oh wait... that would be HORRIBLE considering the U.S. Government is one of the largest purchasers of goods and services in the world.
Dang that greedy Bill Gates, running a capitalist corporation and trying to make money and be profitable. I mean, no other corporation is doing it, right? |
