Tell Mapuche Indians to use Free Software

Monday, November 27th, 2006

A very interesting story from CNN:

Chile’s Mapuche Indians allege that Microsoft translated Windows software into their native language without getting tribal leaders’ permission. The tribe went so far as going to court accusing Microsoft of ‘intellectual piracy’.

Somebody should tell them that it would be simpler and easier not to buy Microsoft products and promote Free Software since it can come in their language with all freedoms attached.
