[News] Munich is on Linux and All Threats are Now Gone

A bit repetitive, but still...

Munich Linux 'a reality'

,----[ Quote ]
| Under the LiMux project, which commenced in 2004, Munich is migrating \
| 14,000 desktops from Windows to a custom Linux distribution running mostly 
| open-source software.
|
| [...]
| 
| In 2004 the administration temporarily suspended LiMux because of fears
| that then-pending patent legislation could expose open source users to
| new legal liabilities.
| 
| Hofmann also admitted that once the process had recommenced, there
| were further delays, because of difficulties in evaluating the various
| bids for developing and maintaining the platform. But since then
| everything has gone smoothly, he said.

The problem was never Linux itself. IP and SCO are now toothless tigers, too.
