[TriLUG] Linux is a monopoly???????

[Scott Chilcote]

Hi Folks,

On first reading this article, it struck me as being very pro-industry. 
  When you read the "About Us" page of CAGW, they claim to be 
apolitical, yet they quote Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole.

This source places them as far to the right as possible:

http://www.capitalresearch.org/search/orgdisplay.asp?Org=CAG100

Their list of corporate sponsors is long as well.

I suspect their motives.  I strongly back reducing government waste, but 
not only for the benefit of enriching industry suppliers.

The phrasing of their arguments makes me believe they oppose open source 
because it will keep private industry from receiving a healthy dose of 
taxpayer's money.
