[Am-info] The Register: Opera makes hay with MS Mac Arabic/Hebrew snub

[Mark Hinds]

Without meaning to start a GPL sucks/doesn't suck argument, this higlights
one of the values of cumpulsory source availability. These guys are actually
willing to do the work themselves and give it to MS so there wil be a Mac Hebrew
version, but MS won't even allow that. As I understand it this is exactly the
kind of thing that prompted Stallamn in the first place. How else can such
behavior be prevented?
