ACT passes open source law (ComputerWorld)
The Australian ComputerWorld has an
article on the new open source law passed in the Australian Capital
Territory. "Section 6A of the Government Procurement Guideline
amendment bill regarding the procurement of computer software stated:
'In the procurement of computer software, a Territory entity should,
as far as practicable, prefer open source software.'... The bill was
later amended by independent member Helen Cross to substitute 'consider'
for 'prefer', and then passed by the Labor
government." (Thanks to Frederic Schutz).
