U.K. government backs open source (ZDNet)
ZDNet reports on
the UK government's increasingly friendly approach toward free software. "In the final draft of the U.K. government's policy on open-source software, published on Monday by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), the government says that in all future IT developments where interoperability is an issue, it will only use products that support open standards and specifications. Furthermore, it will follow a recent European Commission policy document that suggested exploring the open-source route for all government-funded software research and development."
