EC report advises open source for Europe (ZDNet)

ZDNet looks at the European Commission report recommending greater governmental use of open source software. "The study does not say that European governments should use off-the-shelf open-source software from companies such as Red Hat, but rather focuses on specialized software produced in-house by public authorities. Such software is typically used for the administration of roads, hospitals and public health, education, tax payment and recovery, justice, and territory management."
