*QUOTE*
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) says FOSS has the following
strategic benefits --
(1) developing local capacity/industry;
(2) reducing imports/conserving foreign exchange;
(3) enhancing national security;
(4) reducing copyright infringements;
(5) enabling localization;
(6) increasing competition;
(7) reducing total cost of ownership; and
(8) achieving vendor independence -- for which reasons the French parliament
and entire French police force have junked Microsoft and are now migrating
to FOSS, just like so many other governments in the world.
