I cannot do either, but, logically thinking, I would not be surprised if
it was true. After all, one of the duties of the Treasury - ideally - is
to make government services to do most with least possible budget. If they
can get this done by scaring Microsoft into large discounts - very good
(for them). It is not their direct duty to support open source movement.
