.GREETING
|
|
Dear Mr. Barrières,
|
|
.PP
|
|
It has come to my attention that you have been lobbying the
|
|
US government to prohibit the use of open source software by
|
|
endeavouring to outlaw so-called "warranty free" applications.
|
|
.PP
|
|
I feel it is my duty to inform you that the success of your
|
|
operating system with its embedded web browser relies heavily
|
|
on open source programs and protocols, most notably TCP/IP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Therefore, in the interests of your corporation's fiscal health,
|
|
I strongly advise that you withdraw support for any US
|
|
legislation that would cripple or render illegal open source
|
|
development.
|
|
.CLOSING
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
