Cuba to Switch Over to Open Source
It can be termed as a victory for Richard Stallman. Cuba has now decided to adopt to Open Source software on National level.
HAVANA (AP) - Cuba’s communist government is trying to shake off the yoke of at least one capitalist empire - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) - by joining with socialist Venezuela in converting its computers to open-source software.
Both governments say they are trying to wean state agencies from Microsoft’s proprietary Windows to the open-source Linux operating system, which is developed by a global community of programmers who freely share their code.
