<h1>172 public institutions removed non-free advertisement</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Only one month after the letters for the PDFreaders campaign of FSFE
|
|
were sent, 172 public institutions have removed advertisements for proprietary
|
|
PDF readers from their websites. Particularly outstanding were the responses
|
|
from <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html#HR">Croatia</a>, <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html#RU">Russia</a> and <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html#SI">Slovenia</a>. In Croatia almost all reported institutions deleted the advertisement. Half of those contacted in Russia and Slovenia fulfilled FSFE's
|
|
request.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>"Several institutions replied stating that they agree with <a
|
|
href="/activities/pdfreaders/letter.html">our concerns</a>, and that they will
|
|
modify their websites", said campaign manager Matthias Kirschner. Amongst those
|
|
are a number of ministries, parliaments, law enforcement agencies, and the
|
|
Belgian Prime Minister's chancellery.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Campaigns like this are made possible by a <a
|
|
href="/contribute/index.html">community of
|
|
volunteers</a>, and <a
|
|
href="/donate/donate.html">financial supporters</a>.
|
|
FSFE is following-up with the <a href="/activities/pdfreaders/buglist.html">
|
|
remaining organisations</a> in order to get the remaining advertisements
|
|
removed.</p>
