Venezuela - Stepping Forward With Debian

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the shining examples has been the Venezuelan Patent
| Office, or Servicio Autonomo de Propiedad Intelectual(SAPI).
| In a country that does not recognise software patents, nor
| biological patents, the Debian Linux distribution has been
| used as the foundation stone for the system that will store
| information about both Venezuelan and Cuban patents and can
| store up to 9.5TB of data.

| The truth is you don't really own proprietary software, you just rent
| it. You can actually buy open source solutions, and they are yours to
| do with as you wish.
