Письмо Биллу
Объяснение:
Открытое письмо любителям — открытое письмо 1976 года, написанное Биллом Гейтсом, соучредителем Microsoft, на заре эры персональных компьютеров. В этом письме Гейтс выражает разочарование в связи с тем, что большинство компьютерных энтузиастов, использовавших Altair BASIC, разработанный Microsoft, не заплатили за этот продукт. Он утверждал, что такое повсеместное несанкционированное копирование в действительности отпугивает разработчиков от вложения времени и денег в создание качественного программного обеспечения. Гейтс сослался на несправедливость бесплатного получения преимуществ программного обеспечения, времени, усилий и капитала создателей.
