Makes one wonder whether that University has any policies on academic freedom that don't accord with the contract. What if a professor decides to do research on the quality of Microsoft software?

I'm writing for Swedish TechWorld Open Source and I'm fluent in Spanish.

This sounds totally bogus to me and the video made no sense.

I very much doubt that Microsoft has influence in what speakers a south american university can hire.

I'm sorry - but please prove me wrong.
