[CODATA-international] Use of Proprietary Software in the Aid Sector Perpetuates Racial Injustice

[Bruce RAUP]

Thanks for the pointer to an interesting paper, Suchith.  I've been 
advocating for open source software for many years for many reasons, one 
of which is for easy access to software tools by all, regardless of 
economic means.

Best regards,
Bruce
