Linux Australia urges Govornment to support free competition
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Australia, Australia's peak Open Source Software community group,
| announced the launch of a petition today calling on the Australian
| Federal Government to resist pressure to abandon consumer and
| competition rights when drafting anti-circumvention laws. New laws
| are required under the terms of the Free Trade Agreement negotiated
| between Australia and the United States.
|
| [...]
|
| Con Zymaris, a director with the Open Source Industry Association,
| joined with Russell. "Australian small businesses are world-class at
| using, deploying and building Open Source software. We must be free to
| do so without fear of lawsuits from the larger incumbents we compete
| against."
