Re: [Marxism] File sharing: it's the communist thing to do

I can't believe Jose didn't bring our attention to this:

Today the Venezuelan press reports that the government has  formally issued
a decree (English translation) which prioritizes the use of free/open source
software over proprietary systems in government entities. This follows a
year of pilot deployments in Venezuela's Info Centros (Internet public
access points) and some ministries. (Past attempts, reported by Slashdot, by
former Minister of Science and Technology Felipe Perez Marti to push ahead
this initiative were allegedly foiled by Microsoft.) The decree calls for
plans to actively deploy FOSS during a 24-month period."
