LinuxPR: Roaring Penguin Software: Stay Legal — Use Free Software

CAAST, the Canadian Alliance against Software Theft, is
promoting a truce for businesses and organizations with
improperly-licensed proprietary software.

Roaring Penguin Software Inc. would like to help you avoid
costly software audits and potential fines, and help you stay
legal. To that end, we are making the following offer:

  • Roaring Penguin Software Inc. will offer one day (7 hours) free
    consultation to any non-profit organization in Ottawa which wishes
    to replace proprietary license-required software with free software
    like Linux and OpenOffice. Never again face a software audit.
  • We will offer three hours free consultation to any Canadian or
    Ontario government organization (especially in the health-care
    sector) which wishes to replace proprietary license-required
    software with free software like Linux.
  • We will offer one free hour consultation to any for-profit
    business in Ottawa which wishes to avoid software audits and fines
    by replacing license-required software with free software

The Fine Print

  • The above offers are subject to availability of Roaring
    Penguin’s staff.
  • Free consultation is contingent upon the replacement of
    proprietary software with free software on at least one computer.
    If no such replacement takes place, our normal consulting rates
    apply.
