Free software to keep you away from stealing
,----[ Quote ]
| "In Sri Lanka 80 per cent of the software used among the computer users
| are pirated. The time has come for Sri Lankans to think about how and why
| they use information communication tools. Pirated computer software is
| taken for granted. But if you have free software this will never
| happen," thero said.
|
| According to FOSS local groups Free and Open Source Software is now a part
| of everyone's life. These software come into effect when browsing the
| Web where 70 per cent all Web servers in the world use the open source
| Apache Web server, many of them running on the free Linux operating
| system and often using the free MySQL or PostgreSQL database. Free and
| open source software permeates every aspect of the software industry and
| is no longer a niche: it is here to stay and to change the software
| landscape.
