Is Microsoft behind it?
A libertarian organisation which lists Microsoft as a donor has kicked off a campaign against open source software, and recommended that government and federal institutions keep to proprietary systems.
The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, which claims to represent "civil liberty, political equality and economic freedom and opportunity", has posted a document on its website which bashes open source, making an instant enemy of the geek community.
The 33-page paper, entitled Opening the Open Source debate, argues that open source software is more likely to be compromised by terrorists than proprietary software.
