Hi Steven, Some clues you can find in a SEIS State of Play report I wrote for EC and EEA in 2010. It was based upon national reports and as SEIS COM actually directly pointed at FOSS as the most wanted solution for SEIS implementation, the indicator No 31 addresses this topic. I recall initially I proposed 3 indicators related to FOSS but there was not enough information in the member states for them to be filled. Here's the report: http://www.nesis.eu/documents/d3.1.sop_report_revised%20version_v6.1_100331. pdf Cheers: RAf DR.

Hi, It's the case in France, and we have a global directive signed by the prime ministre stating that opensource software should be used when available : http://circulaire.legifrance.gouv.fr/pdf/2012/09/cir_35837.pdf (in french) Most INSPIRE compliant public sites run on opensource software stacks in France.

I'd like to add that french agencies are strong supports to OpenSource software : French IGN has supported WFS 2.0 implementation in GeoServer, BRGM (geological survey) is regularily supporting GeoNetwork throught its french fork GeoSource, MeteoFrance has done some good support of MapServer, and I'm forgetting much.
