Mõtsküla) https://peeterpaul.motskula.net:443/2008/02/13/open-letter-to-ifj/ <p>Referring to <a href="http://www.ifj.org/default.asp?Index=5807&amp;Language=EN">IFJ Appeals to Microsoft as Russia Uses Anti-Piracy Campaign as a Cover for Media Intimidation</a>:</p> <p>Why don&rsquo;t you consider an opportunity to help Russian independent media outlets migrate to free/libre open-source software (FLOSS) instead of begging Microsoft to donate free or discounted licenses for their computers?</p> <p>With more than 20 years of computing experience, having worked in and with newspapers, and having first-hand knowledge of Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems, I dare to say that FLOSS is a suitable alternative for most people employed in a media organization.</p>
