Why governments should be allowed to specify Open Source software (NewsForge)
Robin 'Roblimo' Miller takes a
look at some government and military specifications to show that open
source specifications are not so outlandish. "If the federal
government suddenly decided to acquire and use nothing but Open Source
software, this would not stop Microsoft, Adobe, and other big proprietary
software vendors from bidding on government contracts. It would simply mean
they'd need to open some of their source code if they wanted to do business
with the government."
