Recently a DVD store that has original discs for rent was shut down. They have a license that they got some time ago to do the business and when they were registering the business no additional paperwork was needed. What is the reason then? They were told they needed an international license - probably because the discs are not meant for us in JA.
JA falls in the Latin American region - though most persons here only speak English - and because of this world view we are forced to be subjected to what the world decides.
Hopefully Linux will not fall on this path, but knowing Micro***** - they will do what they can to kill competition. It's how they work. If they can't buy the company they try their best to bury it.
Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".
