[Fsf-friends] Membership of the Free Software Foundation

THE ADVERT in the May 2003 issue of Linux Journal was interesting. It said:

"Become a card carrying member of the Free Software Foundation. Your membership dues help FSF protect your freedom to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer software, fight for rights of all users of technology, and defend the GNU GPL...."

But the $120 associate membership fee ($60 for students) could put it beyond the reach for many in the Third World. Could the FSF think of a special South Asian rate for potential members in this part of the globe? There's a lot of interest in your ideals here... but try not to price it beyond our reach. Thanks. FN
