Wow. Someone in Peru seems to "get it". This Letter from Peruvian Congressman David Villanueva Nuñez to Microsoft Peru on a bill he's sponsoring to mandate that the Peruvian government purchase only open source software shows a clear understanding the difference between the public and the private sector, and makes some really good arguments on those points.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
