Personally, I don't think that this is _our_ problem. If someone wants to take advantage of these things, then that's up to them. What matters is the organisation (i.e. PLUG) who is doing the advocacy and whatnot has clear intentions and goals on what they want to do. Note that i'm not saying that it's ok to align PLUG to a political group or party, because it is not. And besides, what you're saying happens in most countries and not only in the Philippines. And yet, (some of) these countries are moving forward in terms of FLOSS adoption. Advocating FLOSS in the government, let alone in the business sector, is not an easy task. We just have to keep on pushing and do lots of innovation and making FLOSS work for most people. Just my 0.02c. Cheers, -- Jan Alonzo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
