Linux does not believe in slavery: Free software stands for
freedom and liberty. Like, free, as in
freedom. It does not have the restrictions imposed by the licenses
from software from commercial and greedy businessmen. It gives one and
all, an equal and fair opportiunity. No invisible handcuffs, fetters,
and chains, to straitjacket you, and make you a helpless
slave.
Linux makes economic sense : Although the free in
Free Software like Linux, implies "liberty" and not "gratis", the "Total cost of
ownership" of Linux is much lesser than this other OS ! This
aspect, makes Linux particularly attractive for academic institutions
and intellectuals (who are not always part of the economically
pampered tribe). Products which these people make, are naturally
superior to those made by greedy, short-sighted swindlers.
