This is why I only use & support Free & Open Source Software in my personal life. This man is going to prison. Prison.
"A California man who built a sizable business out of recycling electronic waste is headed to federal prison for 15 months after a federal appeals court in Miami rejected his claim that the “restore disks” he made to extend the lives of computers had no financial value, instead ruling that he had infringed Microsoft’s products to the tune of $700,000."
@tinker I feel sorry for the the guy. Prison! For making install disks. In my area two computer recyclers use Linux. Free Geek uses Xubuntu exclusively and PC's for People uses Linux Mint or Ubuntu. PC's for People also installs Windows, but they pay Microsoft for it and charge more.

E-waste is a huge issue. So is the digital divide. You can solve both issues at the same time. But you need FOSS to do it.
