Mitt Romney/ ODF, OLPC, LinSpire's CEO, Fair Use Policy

After doing some research I found that Mitt Romney supported the One-Hundred dollar laptop project in September 2005, after filing education reform Legislation.

He also has Linspire's CEO Kevin Carmony helping on his Campaign. It also seems Romney knows a little bit about the Fair use Policy after Fox started telling candidates they could not use footage of theirs for the campaign videos,Romney said under the Fair Use of there site that his Campaign can use the videos of himself for his Advertisements.

Also Governor Romney in Massachusetts appointed Louis Gutierrez for implementing the ODF policy.

Plus his views on the Economy and how business can grow in America and lowering taxes on business, and helping the economy get started again could help the growth of small Linux companies and business who support and rely on Linux.

Just a little research I pulled up that I hope would help some undecided voters that have not voted yet.
