Blogging Ottinger (tim)The Linux Revolution in Asia
From linux insider comes an article called “Linux News: International: Linux Revolution: Asian Countries Push Open Source“. By the way, they refer to non-open software as “licensed”. I guess that’s okay. I prefer to consider non-open software and DRMed media as “restricted use”. Think about it. Microsoft windows is a restricted-use operating system, and a Sony CD is restricted-use music, whereas linux is open software. Likewise, the mp3s given away by bands on websites are free music, and anything with DRM is restricted-use music.
I think it make sense.
Anyway, you will see here that Linux is taking off quite well in most places. It has trouble here in the US because of an entrenched monopoly, but it’s not doing so badly here either.
