UK.gov tweaks open source policy small print (The Register)

The Register reports on changes to the UK government's open source policy. "The UK government has rejigged its open source and open standards software procurement policy, following pressure from OSS vendors last autumn. Early last year the Cabinet Office revised its rules on public sector open source software purchases, but many OSS players complained that the policy amendments didn’t go far enough. Others grumbled that the government was failing to police its own rules." (Thanks to Paul Sladen).
