A press release from Mandriva:
Mandriva gives its support to AFUL's action against sales of bundled software.
Nowadays, when you buy a new computer, several pieces of software are already pre-installed, be it the operating system, antivirus software or burning software. It is almost impossible for consumers to know the selling price, contracts and conditions of use of these applications and, if they wish to, to refuse to purchase them.
On average, the price of this software constitutes between 10% and 25% of the purchase price of the computer - that is to say from 100 to 300 Euro. Although the French Consumer Code forbids tied sale of goods (the computer hardware) and services (software licenses), the situation continues and deprives consumers of real freedom of choice. It artificially prevents the spread of free software to the general public.
The AFUL working group against tied sales launched the petition "Non aux racketiciels" (No to "racketware") [1] in order to challenge the French authorities on this intolerable practice. Since 1999, this working group has accompanied and advised people who wish to claim refunds for the software licenses that they were forced to buy against their will with the computer (racketware). Launched in April 2006, the petition has more than 21,000 signatories and requests only the application of the law: everyone in France should have the choice not to buy what he or she does not want to use.
