Sa artikulong ito ni Dr. Nemenzo, ipinaliwanag niya na ang paggamit ng libreng LINUX ay isang paraan upang makaalpas sa "digital imperialism" ng microsoft. Mukhang ililipat sa LINUX ang network ng UP System. ang desisyong ito ay political at ekonomical.
"Linux is the antidote to monopolistic control. It is truly liberative and empowering. Liberative because it is so designed that it cannot be locked in by a giant company that wants to carve out a captive market. Empowering because, being open source, it allows users to modify and improve on any program.", says Nemenzo.
"Linux Bayanihan is a package of Linux-based programs developed by ASTI (Advanced Science and Technology Institute) – a unit of DOST based in our Diliman campus, along C. P. Garcia Avenue. To promote Linux, it tries to overcome the valid criticism that Linux is difficult to install. With Bayanihan, it takes only three keystrokes to install Linux. And the package includes alternatives to MS Word, Powerpoint and Excel."
"ASTI is giving UP several copies of Bayanihan, with permission to replicate it for as many computers as we want. “Permission” is an understatement: ASTI encourages us to propagate it. Ang layunin ay wasakin ang kontrol ng Microsoft at iba pang ganid na software companies. "
