A very nice one indeed. ;-)
It seems we are all mostly concerned with the bill's _mandatory_ nature to promote FOSS by directly restricting the freedom of choice of platform/OS/etc IMHO its more proper to call it "OSS Bill" rather than FOSS bill because the _F_redom was taken away then i think we wouldn't be beating our heads :)
Hah. I don't know what others will say about that... ;-) [snipped amuzing attempt at mathematically modeling the politics of FOSS]
Therefore, wouldn't we consider a FOSS Bill that contains the policy on allocating more Time/Money/Preference on development of FOSS skilled People rather than _mandating_ FOSS only govt IT systems that may or may not be supported by our People?
Sounds like a good thing to me, but the FOSS Bill won't then be about saving money right? :-D
Just my 2 cents worth.
Much more if I may say so. :-) [ Snipped Everything Else , Which I Hope Will Be Removed Next Time (READ: Please don't overquote!!!) ] -- Dean Michael C.
