All the English press therefore underplays FOOS and GNU/Linux.

South America warms to Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| In South American countries, as in most other areas of the world, the 
| government is by far the biggest purchaser of software. Thus the Open Source 
| trend that is now established in the government sector across the continent 
| will doubtless spur Open Source adoption in the private sector.   
| 
| There are a variety of motives for Open Source adoption in play in there, 
| from the reduction in software costs to the desire to provide a "leg-up" to 
| the local software industry. However, the motivation of the Peruvian 
| government is unique in that the Peruvian supporters of the bill see "Open 
| Source" as a citizen's right. The ownership and responsibility for the use of 
| data and software have become a political issue in Peru.     
| 
| This is an idea that is unlikely to go away.
