Dear Sir or Madam,
on your website you claim that you are the "French speaking Libre Software Users' Association" and therefore, support the usage and adoption of Free Software.
Today I received an identi.ca notice with a link to your "My University offers me my Microsoft Windows ® license" Worldwide Campaign [1]. On the campaign's website you encourage students to download Microsoft Windows through MSDNAA and to return the OEM versions of Microsoft Windows which the students own. You claim that this will send "send a strong signal to computer manufacturers" and also suggest to install GNU/Linux on the same computer.
Returning OEM versions of Microsoft Windows may convince hardware manufacturers to offer computers without Microsoft Windows, but encouraging students in the same breath to install a gratis copy of the same proprietary operating system won't support Free Software at all.
Following Richard Stallman tabaco analogy [2], this means that you ask students to return their tabaco to the shop in order to force the shop to not offering tabaco and on the other to get free tabaco samples from the tabaco company. This will of course not solve the problems of smoking.
I think the title of your organisation is dishonest, because you violate your own statutes. I suggest to either change your title and statutes or to stop your campaign and to apologise to your members.
If you really want to convince hardware manufacturers to offer computers without an operating system or with a pre-installed free operating system, I suggest to support the Windows Tax Refund initiative [3] of the Free Software Foundation Europe.
Sincerely, Matthias-Christian Ott
