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
