Let's see. You "ComputerGuru" and a random blogger "NeoSmart" (without even an about us page) versus BBC and LA Times. Your post and the blog post is completely out of context. Stallman quoted on his BBC article a 7 page LA Times investigation. "Dark cloud over good works of Gates Foundation" http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-gatesx07jan07,0,2533850.story http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-gatesx07jan07,0,2533850.st... The Gates Foundation has poured $218 million into polio and measles immunization and research worldwide, including in the Niger Delta. At the same time that the foundation is funding inoculations to protect health, The Times found, it has invested $423 million in Eni, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Total of France — the companies responsible for most of the flares blanketing the delta with pollution, beyond anything permitted in the United States or Europe. Indeed, local leaders blame oil development for fostering some of the very afflictions that the foundation combats." Stallman's article doesn't even emphasize it as much. Its abstract reads: To pay so much attention to Bill Gates' retirement is missing the point. What really matters is not Gates, nor Microsoft, but the unethical system of restrictions that Microsoft, like many other software companies, imposes on its customers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7487060.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7487060.stm Edit: formatting.
