Study: Governments need open source (ZDNet)
[Posted August 26, 2002 by ris]
This ZDNet
article
follows up on the FLOSS report, showing why governments need open source.
"
The FLOSS report argues that open-source software, by its nature,
better fulfils certain governmental responsibilities than software to which
source-code access is restricted. These responsibilities include the
public's right to public information and to know how that information is
processed; the permanence of public data; and the security of that
data."
