The Mapuche Indians of Chile are offended by Microsoft's version of Windows in their language, Mapuzugun. The tribe is considering a lawsuit against the IT giant, for violating cultural and collective heritage, because the software in their native language was developed without the permission from the Government or Vole. The Mapuche Indians have also written to Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, accusing the company of 'intellectual piracy'. Currently, the tribe is in court, in a bid to stop the distribution of the software. |
