... because they were payed/bribed/lobbied or just fools BTW it is still the same and it became even worse and no one is doing anything. Some 15y ago there were ideas to use open source in the public administration and the schools. What happened with that? Oh, yes, Microsoft offered very good conditions ... yes. Then those politicians, free thinkers etc. stopped talking about opensource and the idea died slowly in the shadow of 9/11, 2008 Lehman Bros etc. Lets admit it ... the goal is to shovel the money to (mostly) US corporations that do not pay any taxes anywhere, to educate the children to be slaves of the corporations and to consume as much as possible.
