18.GREETING
19Dear Mr. Barri�res,
20.PP
21It has come to my attention that you have been lobbying the
22US government to prohibit the use of open source software by
23endeavouring to outlaw so-called "warranty free" applications.
24.PP
25I feel it is my duty to inform you that the success of your
26operating system with its embedded web browser relies heavily
27on open source programs and protocols, most notably TCP/IP.
28.PP
29Therefore, in the interests of your corporation's fiscal health,
30I strongly advise that you withdraw support for any US
31legislation that would cripple or render illegal open source
32development.
33.CLOSING
34Sincerely,
35
