Is The BSA Purposely Promoting Open Source Alternatives?

,----[ Quote ]
| So, what is the BSA doing? Yes, that's right, it's pumping up its software 
| audit program, sending 1,000 audit letters to companies in London, officially 
| demanding they detail their software usage -- while unofficially acting as a 
| tremendous advertisement for open source software, where providers don't 
| treat their customers as if they were criminals.

How many billions is open-source software worth?

,----[ Quote ]
| In other words, using OSS isn't about being anti-Microsoft or believing in
| some sort of open-source ethical rightfulness, using OSS is simply a smart
| business move. Indeed, at $387-billion in value, OSS is twice as valuable as
| Microsoft's current net worth of $183.5-billion. Not bad for 'free software'
| is it?
