Licence fees and GDP per capita

Licence fees and GDP per capita: "The price of a typical, basic proprietary toolset required for any ICT infrastructure, Windows XP together with Office XP, is US$560 in the U.S. [2]. This is over 2.5 months of GDP/capita in South Africa and over 16 months of GDP/capita in Vietnam. This is the equivalent of charging a single–user licence fee in the U.S. of US$7,541 and US$48,011 respectively, which is clearly unaffordable."

VERY INTERESTING! An average Ethiopian has to work and not eat for 70.96 month for buying a copy of Microsoft Windows XP+Office.

AND, if he/she want to use it in business or government it has NO LICENSES FEE eighter.
