Are there enough FOSS companies who have been dealing with the
government already? Even without this bill i believe government
projects can be won by FOSS. I have a chance to see a 50M government
contract about to be won by FOSS but at the last minute two FOSS
experts in this proprietary company have resigned for greener pasture.
The company backed down, the project was awarded to the competitor
using M$.
There are enough FOSS companies around, and yes they already have dealings with the government, i know one company who had projects with the Dept. of Tourism and with our office. The last project our office had for bidding, three(3) companies participated all of whom are FOSS companies.
