  Microsoft Admits Contribution to Think Tank That
                 Published Anti Open-Source Paper

Microsoft admits that it provides funding to the Alexis de Tocqueville
Institution, the think tank that recently released a white paper that
maintains open source software is not secure and that government
should instead use proprietary software.  The Institution will not
comment on specific funding for the report.

[Editor's (Paller) Note: Last year, the same think tank published a
paper extolling the benefits of Microsoft's certification programs.]
