It's not a subsidy if they are paying to buy a product, whether other options are available or not. Planned Parenthood is shown as a Linux site, or one that is switching between, not that they are a political party with legislative powers anyway.

The government subsidizes farmers by buying their products unnecessarily. Likewise, buying software from a vendor when a capable free alternative is available is also a subsidy. Like you said before, you would have preferred that NASA make a big contract with Cray to build a supercomputer rather than save our tax dollars by tying together computers they already had sitting around.

Get off it. I proved PP is a Windows site, and even Netcraft shows them running Windows earlier (likely before the hosting service changed their Linux proxies, which fool Netcraft). You falsely accused me of a lie, and you are incapable of being honest and apologizing.
