Std hard time with english eh Rich?

Nope, it was a quote in that report. It was not my words or /. words or
Mike Miller words.

Please re-read:

""Combined with cost, security is perhaps the most important
factor pushing FLOSS in every country outside the United States", the
report argues."

Note the last 3 words.

So this was a report by an ex-patriate Pakistani in Finland doing research
commisioned by Finnish companies & the Finnish Foreign Ministry:

"Set to be released in Finland on May 22, "Free as in Education:
Significance of the Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Developing
Countries" is authored by the Helsinki-based researcher Niranjan
Rajani. Rajani prepared the report in collaboration with Juha Rekola and
Timo Mielonen, from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, along with
OneWorld Finland and KEPA. "

So one would assume that those perceptions would be of those
people/companies/governments round the world who formed the basis for the
study.
