Asterix stronger than Bill...

I am a supporter of the Open source programs. Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open-source software must comply with 10 criteria. In fact I think a program is as a mathematical formula. Imagine a "Bill" Pythagore who will have a licence on the Pythagoras's theorem. Euclide wouldn't invente the reciprocal, and today you could pay to use the fomula and to do matematical research. I'm not a "communist" as Bill Gates said, or IBM is communist. This company said the last month it's for free software. Open source programs are a condition of research development. On the contrary, the private companies have a place , because they can access to the worldwilde knowledge. Otherwise, it'll be only Microsoft and fews companies which will can develop theirs programs.
If you want know more about Open source, you can visit the site Open Source Initiative (OSI).
Do you believe to find a software in Brittany language? With free software as Mozilla, it's possible et that exists! You don't believe me? Ok! For LanigTan (Navigator) and LapousKurun (e-mail client), click here!
