Obama exploring option of mandating "Open Source" software in government, says this story: http://government.zdnet.com/?p=4297
Seems interesting. When will we have a Prime Minister who understands the benefits of Free Software? Hope Obama really decides to mandate Free Software in government. We can then use the story to campaign in our country. Wish Obama understood the philosophy of the Free Software movement and mandated Open Access and Creative Commons licencing for material generated using public funds too.
